She playfully swatted him on the arm. ‘No, I did not. And I want to make full disclosure that I haven’t ridden a bike since I was eight! But I’m happy to give it a go. Both the staying on and the mountain biking.’

And she was.

Blissfully and unreservedly happy. She knew real life would throw some rocks in front of their skis from time to time but she was sure they’d manage to negotiate them.

Instead of having her nose pressed up against the glass of the cake shop window she was now very much inside and licking her lips as she ate the stickiest bun in the place.

‘Come back to the chalet with me, I’ve a rather urgent matter we need to attend to,’ Scott murmured in her ear, his breath prickling the skin on her neck.

‘I know. I can feel the urgent matter against my hip.’ She grinned, surreptitiously lowering her hand to brush against him.

Scott groaned, stiffening against her hand. ‘You evil woman.’

‘You brought me over to the dark side, it’s your own fault,’ she teased.

‘I’ve created a monster.’ He pulled a horrified face. She poked him in the ribs again.

‘Get a room you two,’ Sophie called out good-naturedly.

‘Good idea.’ Scott slipped his shirt back on, manoeuvring them out of the crush of bodies to where they’d left their jackets.

Soon they were inhaling the tranquil night air and walking through the snow that sparkled in the moonlight.

‘You don’t have any more confessions for me, do you Holly?’ Scott asked, his eyes inscrutable.

‘Yes.’ She stopped walking and stared at him seriously, only waiting long enough for the first worry line to appear on Scott’s face before she put him out of his misery.

‘I need to confess that I think I might love you,’ she said quietly, her heart hammering in her chest.

Scott's eyes blazed with heat as he pulled her close and kissed her, slow and delicious.

‘I think I might love you too, Holly Buchannan, slalom queen, chalet girl and burner of casseroles…’

‘That wasn’t me,’ she interrupted. ‘You know that wasn’t me.’

He went on as though she hadn’t spoken. ‘But, all things considered I think I’d like to keep you on. I have another position I’d like you to try out. Well several in fact.’ He grinned wickedly and Holly flushed again, her cheeks hot.

Damn it, would she never stop blushing around Scott?

On reflection she hoped he never stopped making her blush.

‘That’s an interesting proposal Mr. Hamilton. Perhaps you’d like to go over it in more detail?’

‘It would be my pleasure.’ He clasped her hand. ‘It might take some time though.’

‘That’s okay, I’m not going anywhere.’ An unfamiliar peace settled over Holly as they entered Chalet Repos.

I feel like I’ve come home.

The house was aptly named - it was a refuge, a place of peace for her.

She knew she’d finally come home to a place she hadn’t even dreamt had been waiting for her. Life was what you made it and she was going to make it a good one.

‘Okay?’ Scott asked, pulling her towards him and tugging impatiently at her buttons.

‘You know Scott?’ She smiled, a smile that felt like it was stretching from ear to ear. ‘I think I am, I'm really okay.’

She slid her arms around his neck and kissed him. She’d been given a chance and she was going to take it.
