Melted Hearts

Warren Cleveland had had enough...of women. When his soon-to-be wife didn't bother to show up for their wedding, Warren knew it'd be a cold day in hell before he'd even consider a relationship with another woman again. Not only was he embarrassed beyond belief, but a broken heart was never fun for anyone. Still bitter about weddings and women, Warren agrees to be the best man for his friend's upcoming wedding in the Smoky Mountains. When his weekend getaway suddenly takes an unexpected detour, Warren finds himself in a situation he hadn't planned for...a situation that involves a woman. Molli Barnes happened to be in the right place at the right time...for Warren Cleveland's sake. Molli has reservations where men are concerned. Coming out of a bad relationship herself, she's hesitant to trust another man again. But there's something about Warren she's drawn to-something that makes her feel safe and secure. Something that makes her feel like living again. A weekend escapade is hardly reason enough for Molli to forget everything her ex put her through. Especially when there's still so much at stake. Or is it? Maybe Warren is exactly what's been missing from her life. Will Warren and Molli be able to melt the walls they've put up around their hearts so that they can both put the past behind them? Or will they let their pasts determine their futures?Previously featured in the Snowed Inn Holiday Anthology, Melted Hearts is the prequel in the upcoming new Thunder Ridge series. Book one, Renewed Hearts, releases late Winter 2021, followed by Broken Hearts and Forever Hearts later in the year.
