Cody released his hold on Viktoria. What kind of jerk would steal a kiss when her son had just been kidnapped?
But without a word, Viktoria closed the distance between them. She pressed her lips onto his cheek. âFor luck,â she whispered.
Without another thought about right or wrong, Cody slid his arm around her waist and pulled Viktoria closer. Her breasts pressed into his chest, warm and inviting.
He placed his mouth on hers. Viktoria wrapped her arms around his neck and parted her lips. He moved his tongue into her mouth and she greeted him in return. Codyâs hands traveled down, memorizing her form. Their kiss became his world. His universe. His everything...

Rocky Mountain Justice: These Colorado mercenaries fight for duty and honor
Confession time: Iâve been a lifelong Harlequin romance reader, so Iâm especially thrilled to introduce Rocky Mountain Justice, my first series for Harlequin Romantic Suspense. More even, is that this is a holiday romance, which are my favorite kind of books to read! Nothing says the holidays to me like a book that brings together family, traditionsâand, of course, love.
Although Iâve been known to scour the shelves at my local bookstore in October looking for the latest holiday romances, I also love a great romantic suspense. Because whatâs better than two people trying to save the world while at the same time losing themselves in each other?
For you, dear reader, I wish you all the joys and wonder of the season. May your days be filled with laughter and your nights filled with love. I also hope you enjoy reading Her Rocky Mountain Hero as much as I did writing it!
Happy holidays,
Jennifer D. Bokal

The sun hung above the horizon; the final rays of the day cast long shadows over the mountains and into the valley below. Cody Samuels shouldered open the door of his house and propped his skis against the wall. Balancing his poles next to them, he then worked his feet out of his hard, formfitting downhill boots.
He was glad heâd had a chance to go skiing. It looked like he might be forced to stay inside for the next few days. The weather was about to turn nasty and bring what the local meteorologists were calling âThe Blizzard of the Century.â Actually, being snowed in for a few days didnât seem so bad. It would help take away the sting of being alone over a holiday.
Closing the door, he carried his gear to the storage room next to the kitchen. His tablet sat on the counter, and he gave it a glance as he passed. A message icon glowed. When he finished putting his gear away, he returned and tapped it to open the email.

Re: Mateev, Viktoria
Mateev, Viktoria. Codyâs shoulders tightened and his pulse spiked. The name Mateev was one he hoped to never see again and at the same time he looked for everywhere.
