Claire Mathews hates everything about Twin Elks, Colorado. And Twin Elks, Colorado, hates Claire Mathews right back. Or do they? When a new arrival in Twin Elks, Poppy Williams, threatens to steal her Winters inheritance, driven career-woman Claire Mathews must head back to the town that loves to hate her to get what's hers. But she doesn't factor in hotter than hell retired special-forces straight talker Finn Williams. As Claire struggles to overcome her hostile relationship with her estranged father, it quickly becomes apparent that she might not have gotten the full story of what really happened between her parents all those years ago. Could it be that her father did love her after all and that her mother has kept them apart? Finn Daniels has known combat and death, and now he's searching for peace and contentment in his life. However, torn between his need to defend his former sister-in-law, Poppy, and his fiery attraction to the hair-trigger Claire, Finn finds himself drawn into a battle on his new home front of Twin Elks. Irresistibly drawn to each, will mistrust, lies, and deceit destroy Claire and Finn's happily ever after before it begins? It might just be time for the charming, meddlesome residents of Twin Elks to try their hands-once again-at matchmaking. Find out in the second installment of the Passing Through series, Ticket To Ride.
