Charlie Templeton's love for adventure started in his teens, which is why he set a goal for himself to climb the tallest peaks on all seven continents. On his last climb, Mt. Everest, he's wondering why completing his goal doesn't feel the way he thought it would feel. As he stands contemplating his dilemma, an image of beautiful Eve Keller pops into his mind, leaving him even more confused at why he's thinking about this woman he left five years ago. He decides the only way to find out if she still means anything to him is to seek her out. Since he is heading home to Boulder, Colorado, for a few lectures at the university, now is as good as time as any.

Eve Keller's past experiences with men is the reason she's sworn off them off for over two years. Her failed marriage to a man she didn't know, as well as the man she let slip through her fingers are enough to make any woman shy to start another relationship. Her professional life as a chef and restaurant owner is taking off and business is fantastic with prospects in TV and books in the making. When her friend tells her there is a gorgeous man wanting to meet the chef, she thinks it will be a typical meet-and- greet, until she finds herself staring at the man who left her five years ago for adventure instead of settling down with her. The chemistry between them is still running hot, but will he stick around long enough to see if it has staying power?

THE DRIFTER, the next installment in the Forbidden Fantasies series, is a hot and steamy love story you don't want to miss.
