Rediscover this scorching fan-favourite from USA TODAY bestselling author Victoria Dahl!

For Jenny Stone, driving is her escape – from her past, her problems, her quiet life in Jackson Hole. But after Deputy Nate Hendricks stops her – again – for speeding, she could lose more than just her license. She could lose her heart. Nate seems to think that Jenny should replace her love for fast driving with something even more...heart pumping. And despite her need for speed, Jenny's never been one for defying the law.

Tough to tame, but not too tough to love… 

Charlie Allington is supposed to be on the fast track to the top–a small–town girl who was making it big in her career. Instead, she's reeling from a scandal that's pretty much burned all her bridges. Now, out of options, she needs a place to lick her wounds and figure out her future. True, working at a ski resort in rugged Jackson Hole, Wyoming, isn't her dream job. But if there's one perk to coming back, it's a certain sexy hometown boy who knows how to make a girl feel welcome. 

Cowboy Walker Pearce never expected a grown–up Charlie to be temptation in tight jeans. She's smart and successful–way out of league for a man like him. But he's not about to let that, or his secrets, get in the way of their blazing–hot attraction. Yet when passion turns to something more, will the truth–about both of them–send her out of his life for good…or into his arms forever?

USA TODAY bestselling author Victoria Dahl delivers sassy and sexy contemporary romance in a new series set in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Get a taste with this novella, Strong Enough to Love….

Photographer Eve Hill was completely comfortable being single. Or at the very least, she was completely resigned to it. There was only one man who made every nerve in her body and brain light up when he walked into a room. But Brian Stewart had always been off limits. Hell, she'd never even kissed him!

For Brian, returning to Jackson Hole feels like coming home. But that has nothing to do with the town. It's Eve drawing him back. Eve and the chance to finally see if they have something or if it's all been in his imagination.

Eve doesn't think she can open her heart to Brian again after getting hurt so badly before, though her body still wants him. She offers Brian one night to fulfill their long–denied fantasies, and that's it. No love or promises, just a chance to get their attraction out of their systems. But can one night really be enough?

Librarian Sophie Heyer has walked the straight and narrow her entire life to make up for her mother's mistakes. But in tiny Jackson Hole, Wyoming, juicy gossip doesn't just fade away.

Burning for you...

Some men are off limits. Close friends of your ex–husband, for instance. Or firefighters who work in the same building as you. Yet despite her best judgment, librarian Lauren Foster can't help noticing fire captain Jake Davis whenever he jogs by...shirtless. They've always been friends, but all it takes is one not–so–chance meeting at a local bar and one not–quite–innocent walk home to ignite a fierce, uncontrollable desire between them.

Widower Jake Davis has tried to ignore the spark he feels whenever Lauren's around, but once he sees her curves in a little black dress, there's no turning back. No matter how often she says she's all wrong for him, the sexy, outspoken divorcee is driving him wild in the best possible way. Maybe she's just blowing off steam. Or maybe he can convince her to fan these flames into something deeper, hotter, and truer than they ever expected...

Merry Kade has always been the good girl. The best friend. The one who patiently waits for the guy to notice her. Well, no more. Merry has just scored her dream job, and it's time for her life to change. As the new curator of a museum in Wyoming, she'll supervise some – okay, a lot of – restoration work. Luckily she's found the perfect contractor for the job, and even better, he lives right next door.

Shane Harcourt can't believe that someone wants to turn a beat–up ghost town into a museum attraction. After all, the last thing he needs is the site of his dream ranch turning into a tourist trap. He'll work on the project, if only to hasten its failure...until the beautiful, quirky woman in charge starts to change his mind.

For the first time ever, Merry has a gorgeous stud hot on her heels. But can she trust this strong, silent man – even if he is a force of nature in bed? When Shane's ulterior motives come out, he'll need to prove to Merry that a love like theirs may be too hot to handle...but it's impossible to resist!","rating":"3.75","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2013-04-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2013-04-01 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":8258,"isbn13":"9781460898260","title":"Too Hot To Handle","seo":"too-hot-to-handle","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460898260.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Romance / General","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027000"},{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]},{"description":"

For makeup artist Grace Barrett, Hollywood isn't the land of golden opportunity. It's the land of difficult divas, cheating boyfriends and unemployment. So when her great aunt offers her a free place to stay in Jackson Hole, Grace thinks she'll spend a little time in the sticks to figure out her life, and then move somewhere exciting to live out her dreams. But it turns out that there are a few more thrills in this small town than Grace was expecting…

Cole Rawlins is a rugged Wyoming cowboy born and bred. Yet he can't help but be drawn to the fascinating big–city girl who moves in across from him.

As they discover a sizzling attraction, it becomes harder for him to keep his demons at bay– and those fires from long ago may burn them both.

They'll need more than scorching–hot passion to make this opposites–attract affair work.
