I’d had when I’d first laid eyes on Big Mountain.
Pure. Magical. Everlasting.
I poured all of my heart into this unexpected kiss knowing that being brave and taking risks was the way I wanted to live my life, the way I would make all of my dreams come true. “I’m glad you took that leap of faith,” I breathed.
“Me, too,” he whispered.
We both leaned back and gazed into each other’s eyes, until we simultaneously smiled. Then I pulled him closer and he kissed me again, deepening his kiss this time. Here in each other’s arms, we were both home.

Acknowledgments
I lived in Whitefish, Montana for almost six years and it’s still my home away from home. Unlike Holly, though, I actually did miss the city. But we visit Whitefish regularly and writing Holly’s story helps me share the beauty of this small mountain town, which holds such a special place in my heart.
I’d like to thank talented authors Virna DePaul, Cyndi Faria, and Rochelle French for your feedback on this story, your friendship, and your support in this delightful writing business. You gals are the best!
Big hugs to my mom, Ann Rego, for your cheers and encouragement while I’m writing each and every story.
I’m so thankful for my hubby, Mike Hatler, whose unexpected kisses fill me with joy, and remind me why I love writing romance. My home is always with you, baby.
