Something To Live For

<p>Maverick Thompson is downright infuriating.</p><p><br></p><p>It doesn't matter how incredibly good-looking he is or how his dimpled smile makes my panties melt. He can turn the charm all the way up but he'll never thaw the icy walls I put up after the last time he canceled our date.</p><p><br></p><p>See Maverick doesn't do commitment. He's made it very clear that relationships are not his thing. That is until I take the possibility of one off the table and suddenly it's game on for him. He claims to be different but I don't trust this so-called reformed playboy front he's giving me.</p><p><br></p><p>I know that it's just the thrill of the chase for him and that he wants nothing more than to say no one is off limits for him- which is why I won't give in.</p><p><br></p><p>But nothing could have prepared me for what would happen when we got stranded together during one of the worst storms to hit Whiskey Mountain.</p><p><br></p><p>Trying to avoid Maverick would be easy if we weren't forced to share the same space- and a bed- in an effort to survive the storm. Suddenly things are heating up in ways they shouldn't and my resolve is quickly fading.</p><p><br></p><p>I know I shouldn't trust someone like Maverick who never has love on his radar but I'm falling quicker than the snow that's keeping us trapped inside. It's a dangerous and slippery slope sure to cause more damage than the blizzard raging outside.</p><p><br></p><p>When one night changes everything between us it's no longer just my heart on the line.</p>
