ALL WRAPPED UP is the fifth book in the Pine Mountain series, but just as with all the books in the series, it stands alone too.
Talk about a hot lead…
Ava knows what it’s like to have a past. But the changes she’s seen in Nick since she knew him do more than set off her natural curiosity—his warm eyes and gruff charm have her instincts fired up. Still, all the chemistry in the world doesn’t erase history, even when Nick invites her to his little sister’s mistletoe wedding. Does he have a heart under all those secrets? Or is this going to be just another Christmas past?

Excerpt
Nick
Brennan’s boots sounded off against the neat stretch of pavement in front of
his apartment, and he inhaled a deep breath full of frozen air and screaming
back pain. He’d learned to cope with an extended and somewhat brutal version of
winter upon moving to Pine Mountain two years ago.
The pain was a little more difficult
to swallow, but then again, the snap, crackle, and pop running the length of
his spine was more rule than exception. After a little over two years, Brennan
had learned to suck it up and lock it away.
After all, there were worse things
than blowing out a couple of vertebrae. Not to mention worse ways to deal with
the pain.
Brennan
stuffed back the thought, popping the locks on his Chevy Trailblazer and
sliding into the well-worn driver’s seat. The Double Shot’s staff schedules
weren’t going to write themselves, no matter how much his back creaked like a
hundred-year-old staircase, and he needed to get to work, stat. Brennan
might’ve closed the bar last night, and yeah, the four before it too, but his
friends Adrian and Teagan needed all the help they could get.
With
business booming under the new management of the burly head chef and the
owner’s daughter, busy shifts were a foregone conclusion, especially around the
holidays. Not that Brennan minded. All that work kept him moving forward, and
that was a good thing. Because going back?
Not
an option.
The
handful of country miles between his apartment complex and the small-town bar
and grill started flashing by in a late-morning slide show of snowy pine trees
and mountain backdrops, and Brennan cracked his window to take another deep
breath despite the December chill in the air. Dwelling on the past and the
physical pain that went with it only spelled trouble, and he forced the muscles
in his shoulders and back to unwind as he slid more air into his lungs.
Wait.
. . was that smoke?
Brennan’s
pulse catapulted into go-mode, his heart triple-timing it against his sternum
even though he refused to let his movements follow suit. With his senses at
Defcon One, he methodically scanned the narrow road in front of him from
shoulder to shoulder, scooping in another lungful of air as he lasered his
focus through the bare trees to the sky overhead.
Fuck.
Definitely smoke. Enough to mean very bad things.
And
it was getting stronger by the second.
