Chocolate Kisses and Love Filled Wishes: Kissing Bridge Mountain - Book 3 Read Online Free
Author: Linda West
to bring the children up to the experience the joy of the mountain. It was part of a larger event that was twinned with a documentary to bring awareness of climate change.
The guy in charge was a very handsome up-and-coming activist filmmaker, Tanner Williams.
Kacey cocked her head—she knew that name.
Her thoughts hovered on a tall, broad-shouldered, eagle-eyed man preaching about the effects of climate change around the world. Full of passion and the need to change the world, yes, she could almost hear his deep voice in her head.
Then it clicked – of course! Tanner Williams!
He was one of the stars of the documentary that really helped bring awareness to young people about getting involved – Your World, Your Turn!
She had met him at a climate change event sponsored by some of her snowboarding sponsors in Aspen. He was shockingly handsome.
“I’ve met him. Briefly. A very interesting and powerful guy for someone so young.”
“Well, he’ll be here on Saturday to help set it all up,” Dodie continued.
“We’d be overjoyed if you’d want to be part of the event?”
Kacey didn’t really have to think twice. “Of course!”
No competitions to enter.
No calls from her ‘one and only.’
Why not help the world and some children too?
It had absolutely nothing to do with that gorgeous hunk of man, Tanner Williams.

“W ow, so it’s Kacey Anderson herself,” Tanner Williams said. With his dark eyes so deep, Kacey felt she might get lost in them.
She withdrew her hand from their handshake quickly, trying not to acknowledge the tingle that played up and down her spine as she touched him.
“You follow snowboarding?” she asked, focusing on her shoes.
She had been in the lounge of Eagle’s Peak Lodge, nursing a hot buttered rum in front of the fire, when Dodie and Tanner Williams walked in and Dodie had introduced them.
The truth was, that Kacey couldn’t wait to get out on the slopes and away from this guy that made her feel like she was standing there naked. As she sat back down, she fixed all her attention on all her memories of Brody and how much he must be missing her. She looked down at her phone willing him to text or call. It had been another long span with no communication from Brody.
“Sure,” Tanner said as he sat down, wide and powerful in his chair. His dark eyes flickered toward her, with an intensity belied by the small smile that turned up one corner of his lips. “I like all things mountain.”
“Me, too,” she said into her buttered rum, feeling an unexpected heat surge through her body.
Dodie, ever tuned-in to people’s discomfort, took her own seat and leaned forward in it. “So what do you think the kids from the children’s home will do?”
“Aha!” Tanner reached into his bag and drew out a piece of paper. “Well, I wanted to have shots of them reaching the summit. We could even make it like a metaphor, you know, like overcoming adversity and reaching new heights. Also, from the top, we can get a stunning 360 view. When people look out over things, they get a new perspective. Their eyes are opened to the world beyond theirs.”
Dodie nodded. “Okay, so we could include a hike up the mountain… though I’m not sure all the kids could make it.”
“No problem,” Tanner said. “We can have the whole town make the hike, if they want to. Oh! And we can have some ride on the cable cars. I don’t know of all the facilities here, but I want to have them using the mountain in every which way—
just as long as they look like they’re enjoying themselves. I want everyone to be having an awesome time
