Lori Wilde
Don’t be scared.
She was no longer meek little Cammie Jo, but fearless Camryn Josephine, up for whatever life might throw her way. And she was loving her new self.
Mack was studying her, his eyes hot. So hot, her clothes stuck to her body. Everywhere his gaze landed she seemed to burst into flames.
His gaze slid from her eyes to the bridge of her nose.
Ka-pow.
Her nose burned.
Hungrily he examined her lips.
Ka-bang!
Her mouth became an inferno.
Visually he caressed her jaw.
Ka-blewy!
Her chin was toast.
Wait a minute, where was he going with that naughty stare?
Ka-bam!
Her breasts erupted in sparks.
Help! Call 911. Get the fire department here pronto. Camryn Josephine was in nuclear meltdown!
Dear Reader,
Once upon a time, I was a very shy girl. I couldn’t speak to a boy, much less look him in the face. I didn’t go out on my first date until I was nineteen, and it was a total disaster. The guy didn’t even kiss me, and I was puckered up and ready.
The idea for Cammie Jo’s story came to me one day when I was recalling my painful youth. I would have given anything for a magic potion or a charmed amulet that would have allowed me to be brave.
So Cammie Jo is especially dear to my heart because she is a part of me. But Cammie Jo was lucky. She had the treasured wish totem to help her over her shyness. Me, I had to do it the hard way, one step at a time. But now I’m happy to say I’m far from shy and living my dreams writing romance novels for Harlequin.
I hope you enjoy reading Cammie Jo’s story. If it gives just one woman the courage to face her fears and go for her heart’s desire, I’ll be happy.
Don’t miss out on the other heroes in my BACHELORS OF BEAR CREEK miniseries. Read Jake’s story next in this very volume and coming in the fall from Blaze see what happens to Caleb and Meggie.
I love to hear from readers. Visit me at my Web site—www.loriwilde.com—or write to me at [email protected].
Happy reading!

Prologue
WILD WOMEN WANTED! Do You Have What It Takes To Become A Wilderness Wife?
Cammie Jo Lockhart sat cross-legged on her bed, her laptop computer pushed to one side, staring down at page 110 of the glossy women’s magazine in her hand.
She should be working on her dissertation, she really should, but the photograph of four very eligible, very shirtless Alaskan bachelors provided a more provocative lure than “The Role of the Personal Computer in the Development of Archive Retrieval.”
She had been fascinated with the June issue of Metropolitan since her copy had arrived in her post office box in mid-May featuring the bachelors’ advertisement and the accompanying essay contest sponsored by the magazine. The winning entry would receive a two-week, all-expenses-paid vacation to Bear Creek, Alaska.
The trip was what interested Cammie Jo. The blue-jean clad, bare-chested hunks were just an added bonus.
Soon, the winner would be announced. Too bad she’d been too chicken to enter. Cammie Jo sighed, her gaze lingering on the picture she’d committed to late-night fantasy. Quinn Scofield, wilderness guide. Caleb Greenleaf, naturalist. Jake Gerard, B&B owner and last but not least, Mack McCaulley, bush pilot. All four were heart-stoppingly gorgeous but time and again, her eyes were drawn to Mack.
What a man, what a man, what a man. The guy was so hot her fingers scorched just turning the page to read about him.
He was everything she had ever wanted but could never have, with his sensual cleft chin, short dark-brown hair, sun-kissed cheeks and deep chocolate eyes. He had a defiant expression on his face as if to say, “I’m not scared of anyone or anything.” Something in his brave countenance called to the squeaky mouse inside her.
