Cora discovers her father is in trouble… and the only person who can help her is the enemy’s son, Nick Holloway.
Her father couldn’t have stolen a million dollars, so how is he going to replace it? In one week?
Nick is ordered to take Cora out into the wilderness to a remote cabin to keep her father in line. He claims he wants to help Cora and says he’s deceiving the Hollways to keep her safe…but what if he’s playing both sides? He could be using her attraction to him against her. Cora can’t allow herself to trust Nick, no matter how sexy he is.
Nick isn’t the only one offering to help. Alexander Pierce could scare the devil but he can also track down anyone in a day. He warns Cora that if she wants to find her father alive, he’s the way. Is it possible both Nick and Alexander have secret feelings for her? With her dad's life on the line, she might have to play her own little game.
Soon she’s running from her feelings for Nick, running from creepy Alexander and the rest of the Holloways, and trying to find her father somewhere in the city of Eugene. To make matters worse, everyone thinks she has access to the missing money.
The clock is ticking…

"After reading "A Cowboy for Christmas" I didn't think that any other of Kristen's books would match up to it, but this one certainly did, it had me on the edge of my seat, wanting to keep reading till the end, and I did, not moving till I had finished it. At times I didn't know if Nick or Alexander was the good guy, it twisted and turned from page to page, it kept you in the dark about the truth right till the end, it wasn't predictable at all. A fantastic story, highly recommended!" ~reader review, UK Kindle
Teaser:
This could be dangerous. She broke away from Nick’s intense look and scanned the trees around them. “We’re not safe here.â€
“These mountains are huge. It’d take a miracle to find us.†He ran his finger down her jaw line and backtracked to trace just under her lip. “I’m certain they headed back by now, thinking they’re behind us or missed us.â€
While speaking, he looked into her eyes like she was the only thing in the universe. His brown eyes reflected the greens and blues around them while showing a wild display of primal desire and promise. She saw it coming this time, but didn’t swim away. Their lips met in urgency and picked up where they had left off before.
She felt lost, and there wasn’t anything but Nick, his arms around her, his hands melding to the curves of her body, his kiss awakening her feminine side. His hands ran down her hips and shock waves washed through her. For several blissful minutes, she didn’t have a care in the world. She only wanted more and more of him.
Then, she remembered her dad. The money. Alexander.

“James has a great way with words and builds very realistic characters. I really enjoyed this story [More Than Memories] and although I usually do not go for romance, the relationship between Trent and Molly held my attention as they searched through their past to piece together the detail of Molly’s mysterious disappearance.†Reader review, also rated 5 stars by The Fictional Bookshelf and BigAl’s Books n Pals.
