Description

From Vermont's Green Mountains, where world class athletes are born and bred, come three gorgeous romances at one low price. Coming In From the Cold: Country girl Willow Reade meets Dane by accident. Literally. Her skidding truck forces him off the road during a blizzard. Stranded together in his Jeep as night falls, the two loneliest people in Vermont find themselves sharing more than they'd planned. But Dane "Danger" Hollister is gold-medal ski racer with a world-class secret. As their lives intersect, his troubles threaten them both. Falling From the Sky: Until his accident, bad boy Hank “Hazardous” Lazarus had everything: a gorgeous girlfriend, a career as a freestyle snowboarder and a spot on the US Olympic team. Could he possibly meet the love of his life in the last place he ever wanted to go--the hospital? Shooting for the Stars: Pro snowboarder Stella Lazarus has always loved her brother's best friend. But the one time she tried to show him, she was shot down faster than you can say "competitor disqualified." Until one blissful night in Tahoe, when Stella finally gets her man. Or does she? In the morning, Stella and Bear wake up to horrible news. The sort that sends them racing back to Vermont, and straight into the arms of guilt and family obligations. Praise for the Gravity series: "Bowen writes great dialogue and wonderfully realistic characters" — Sarah Wendell of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books for Kirkus Review "A powerful, redemptive love story that churned my insides, but also left me absolutely satisfied" — The Bookish Babe "A deeply romantic story that warms with slow-burn eroticism and genuine insight into loss and love. Sarina Bowen's debut glows with intelligence and a lovely sweetness." — Mary Ann Rivers, author of The Story Guy "4.5 stars. Hank and Callie are an inspiration to love stories everywhere. HOT." — RT (Romantic Times) Book Reviews "What a book! I’m always looking for different, inspiring, more in my books and Sarina Bowen delivers every time." — The Bookish Babe "Sexy and heartwarming, Falling From the Sky is a story of redemption, trust and falling in love." — Mandi Schreiner of SmexyBooks "One of the highlights of my 2014 reading year." —Dear Author Keywords: Box set, boxset, collection, anthology, Sarina Bowen, sports romance, ski racing, snowboarding, professional athletes, trapped in a blizzard, accidental pregnancy, medical romance, best friend's little sister, brother's best friend, free romance, snowboard romance, sports romance, one night stand, discount, free reads, best romance, sexy romance, hurt comfort, big brother's best friend, snowbound, professional athlete, ski racer, professional snowboarding, winter sports.
