King of the Mountain

Fran Baker tells the remarkable story of a single mom who must question her convictions after seeing an adversary in a different light.   Kitty Reardon is a working mother struggling to make ends meet and move on from her disastrous first marriage. As a third-generation miner, she has always believed that management is a natural enemy. So when Kitty comes face-to-face with the mine’s current owner after a car accident one rainy night, she’s shocked to find that he’s young, thoughtful—and drop-dead gorgeous.   Ben Cooper is operating his family’s mine at a loss, and to turn a profit, he needs to impose salary cuts. But the fiercely passionate Kitty will not have it. Swayed by her arguments—and captivated by her smoldering beauty—Ben decides to learn more about the mine before implementing any drastic changes. Kitty is just the person to show him the ropes. Now if only Ben can convince Kitty that they’re on the same side and—the bigger challenge—that they’re made for each other.   Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from other Loveswept titles.
