title: A Warming Trend
author: Toth, Pamela
description: Now a reclusive Washington rancher, ex-agent Erik Snow had shelved his top-secret identity, closeted his chilling past and locked his tormented soul in ice. Except for his precious little girl, he cared for no one--and made sure no one cared for him. Until a bullet nicked his glacial indifference . . . and nurse Marybeth MacNamara inched her way in.
  
  Marybeth's womanly warmth thawed Erik's frozen feelings, making hopes spring up in his hardened heart, making hot blood pound in his loner's veins . . . making his entire being throb to possess her. Her sweet, stubborn sunshine was about to undo him! Hadn't she learned that the tip of an iceberg signaled danger? And that her melting tenderness might unleash a tidal wave of regrets?
