Rest Thy Head

BLURB:
Running
away from a fiancé who betrayed her, Peyton O’Malley finds employment at a
beautiful mountain inn called Rest Thy Head. She didn’t expect to live in the
haunted room or to fall for the inn’s owner, a fire-scarred, war veteran who
uses the inn to hide away from the world. She didn’t expect her sister to show
up at Rest Thy Head either, much less her formidable mother.
Now,
thanks to the aid of a friendly ghost, Peyton has a shot at true love, and so
does her sister Ashley, provided the guys cooperate of course!

Excerpt:
She entered the barn, a big white structure with a center
aisle and stalls on either side. Just inside the door she saw a dark-haired man
dressed in jeans and a long-sleeved, plaid shirt brushing a pretty chestnut
mare. “Hi,” she called.
The man half turned toward her; wow, he had blue eyes to die
for. The blue was so intense that it reminded her of a blue diamond she’d seen
at the jewelry store. Oh, and look at those shoulders. If there was one thing
she loved, it was a pair of nice shoulders. Yummy. He was just yummy.
“Yeah?” he asked, his voice abrupt and snappy.
“I’m Peyton O’Malley. I’m supposed to meet Patrick for a
ride.”
“He isn’t here yet. You can sit on the bench under that tree
outside and wait for him there.”
Instead of leaving the barn, Peyton stepped toward the man.
“What a beautiful … horse.”
The man quickly averted his face, but Peyton had seen the
dreadful red scars that covered the entire left side of his face. They looked
like burns. “I told you to wait outside,” he growled, scowling at her with the
good side of his face. “Get moving.”
