desire growing inside of her.
Dalton, Denver, and Dillon Durden knew they were in trouble the
minute they invited Summer to stay with them. While all three
men tried to fight their attraction to her, they found it difficult to
stay away.
Someone is lurking in Whispering Mountain and they won’t stop
until they get what they have come for. Will the stranger rip their

they love and surrender to Summer?

Chapter 1

Day 1

Dalton could not help but grin to himself as he watched Summer,
also known as the thorn in his side, lean over the counter as she
okayed the last of the home improvements with the contractor she had
hired. He still had not gotten over the fact that he had invited her to
stay at the house with him and his two brothers. What the hell was
wrong with him? Having a woman that beautiful living under their
roof was going to be too damned tempting.
It had only been a month ago, at one of her sister’s family
gatherings, Summer had announced that she had accepted a job offer
and was moving to Whispering Mountain. Summer had been staying a
few days at her sister’s house. Her sister Spring was newly married to
one of Dalton’s cousins and had made it clear that the newlyweds
were driving her insane. Dalton had the dumb idea of offering his
home to her until the renovations at her house were completed. After
meeting Summer, his brothers Denver and Dillon eagerly agreed. It
was only going to be seven days. He would survive Summer and her
many mood swings.
Surrendering to Summer 9
All right, he had to admit that when he had met her six months
ago in Las Vegas with her sisters, things were instantaneous.
First came the fire. He knew he had to have her. No qualms about
it. Dalton was a lover of all women, but there was something about
Summer that made his chest tighten. His cock was on immediate alert
whenever she was around. He was never sure if it was the way her
almond-colored skin seemed to have a constant glow or whether it
was the delicate star-shaped flecks of hazel that shone in her eyes. Her
lips were simply kissable. Irresistible. Everything about her was
perfect to him.
He held back the groan when he watched her smile and lick her
lips as she talked. Dalton had it bad. The hunger that simmered just
below the surface was difficult to ignore. It took every inch of his
restraint to keep from stalking over to where Summer stood, yanking
those tight jeans from her delectable body, and making her scream his
name. He shook the thought away just as fast. This was just a few of
the reasons why he could only be friends with Summer Showers.
Then came the ice. Wanting her was a dangerous thing. Nothing
good would come from it. He didn’t need a woman in his life.
“Dalton?”
His head jerked up at the sound of his name falling from
Summer’s lips. Damn. He had been daydreaming and staring. Dalton
moved towards Summer as he spoke. “Sorry, I was deep in thought.
Are you just about finished?” He crossed the short distance of the
kitchen doorway to the island.
Summer smiled at Dalton. “Yeah, we are done. Just the floors and
kitchen counters are left.” There was no way Dalton was going to let
her out of his sight. It made sense for him to volunteer to accompany
her to see the contractor. Summer knew the relationship she
unofficially developed with Dalton ran hot and cold. As of noon that
day they hadn’t had a disagreement, she didn’t have the urge to
strangle him, nor had her breathing quickened at the sight of him. She
never knew how her body would react to him. “Seven days, and I will
10 Kortny Alexander
be able to move into my new home.” Seven days, and I will be out of
their house, she thought.
Dalton came to stand in front of Summer as the contractor quietly
excused himself. “Since you’re in such a good mood, let me take you
to lunch before we head back to the ranch.”
He was standing too close. It was getting hot in the kitchen and no
one was cooking. Summer knew it was October and she did have on a
short sleeved shirt, but somehow it seemed too hot standing next to
Dalton. Dammit! She knew her crazed hormones would not be able to
behave. The man was doing nothing but standing in front of her
looking extremely yummy and delicious, and she was getting more
aroused by the second. They needed to leave before she did
something stupid like stare at his mouth a moment too long.
“Lunch. Lunch would be good.” Summer tried to look away from
those beautiful blues but failed miserably. She watched as Dalton
quirked his lips at her, as if he knew that he was getting to her. “Stop
grinning and feed me.” Summer slid past Dalton, careful not to rub
any part of herself against him. Even though that’s all she wanted to
do.
A silly grin slowly curved Dalton’s lips. He watched as Summer’s
eyes went through a few transitions. She was excited about the home
improvements, but he noticed an instant change as he invaded her
space. He had done that on purpose. He’d manage to see the desire
and need in her eyes before she quickly masked it. He loved the smell
of her soap. Sniffing her like a dog was a bit over the top, but
invading her space to hopefully get a whiff of that sweet scent was the
next best thing.
She looked sexy in everything she wore, and he knew she would
look even hotter as he peeled every item off of her. He loved that
Summer was comfortable in her skin. And she seemed oblivious to
the heads that turned when she entered a room. Today she wore the
tight jeans and a short-sleeve T-shirt, her hair was a mass of dark
black curls pulled into a loose ponytail, and she wore no makeup. It
