Aurora Rescue: Valentine Countdown Blitz: THE SECRET OF A KISS by Kimberley Montpetit

When she was in Paris, Kimberley Montpetit spent most of her souvenir money at the La Patisserie shops with their beautiful and delicious pastries. She grew up in the fabulous city of San Francisco, loves all things chocolate, and now lives in a small town along the Rio Grande with her engineer husband and three sons.

She once stayed in the haunted tower room at Borthwick Castle in Scotland and didn't sleep a wink, sailed the Seine in Paris, rode a camel in the ancient world wonder of Petra, shopped the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul, and spent the night in an old Communist hotel in Bulgaria.

Kimberley also writes Award-winning Middle-Grade novels with Scholastic and Young Adult novels with Harpercollins under the name, Kimberley Griffiths Little.

A makeup artist for the Phantom of the Opera with a tragic past. A mysterious man hiding a scar worse than the phantom from the Broadway show.

Linden Adair is a talented makeup artist on the New York Broadway show, Phantom of the Opera, creating the hideous scar for the actor who plays the phantom every night. But nobody knows the deep scars Linden carries after the divorce from her husband, Mark Denly—the famous director of Phantom.

Why didn’t somebody ever tell her that marrying your director was a bad idea, especially when he has a wandering eye?

Desperate to get away after enduring several years of heartache and scars, Linden takes a cross-country trip to visit her best friend in Seattle. While driving on a deserted stretch of highway late at night, she hits a deer and crashes the rental car into a gully outside of Snow Valley, Montana.

A devastatingly handsome stranger with a tow truck rescues Linden and her smashed vehicle, but when she catches sight of him in the light, she’s shocked. Anton Baldwin possess a terrible scar on his face—just like the phantom she created every night for the theater.

But Anton is hiding more than the truth behind his scar, and during a whirlwind week while being recruited for a television show being filmed in Snow Valley, the secrets of this enigmatic man turn her world upside down.

When Anton helps Linden open up to the world around her, Linden wonders if the small town of Snow Valley might hold the magic she needs to heal the scars on her broken heart.

Snippet:

When she hit Montana, she texted her best friend, Anne. Hey, only two more days until I’m at your front door! Not sure what I want to do first. The top of the Space Needle or a day at the ocean.

Anne texted back: Your first morning will be dropping my four-year-old Bethany at preschool, Baily at a sitter, then coffee with some friends I want you to meet. After that, we’ll take a drive along the ocean.

Sounds great! Linden texted back.

Ten days suddenly sounded like a lot of time to intrude on Anne and her family. Maybe a long weekend would have been more realistic. Her husband was sure to privately complain, counting the days until Linden was gone.

Picking up her phone again, Linden texted: If I arrive a couple days later than originally scheduled, will that ruin your plans? I’m enjoying life on the road more than I thought.

Anne: Did an alien abduct the real Linden? No worries, I don’t have any specific plans. We can always get tickets for the ballet after you get here. I have a babysitter on call.

Linden sent off a smiley face to Anne, dropped her cell phone to the empty seat next to her, and lifted her eyes back to the road. At the same moment, an enormous shadow loomed across both lanes of the highway.

“Ah!” She screamed, jerking at the wheel, terrified she was about to hit someone.

There was a grinding noise as the car hit the rumble edge of the highway. A pair of antlers caught in her headlights and then a shadow leaped off to the left.

Linden tried to bring the car back onto the road, but she was going too fast, the jutted ridges of the highway making her car fish-tail uncontrollably. Before she could blink her eyes again, the car was jouncing down into a ravine while she banged her head against the ceiling of the vehicle.

Pumping the brakes didn’t help to stop the runaway car. She’d never felt so out of control in her life, waiting to land somewhere. A lake? Hanging off a cliff edge?

A moment later, the Nissan hit a bank of scrub brush and shuddered to a stop. Steam poured from the hood. Sounds of hissing came from the front end of the vehicle. Something was definitely damaged. Her rental car wasn’t going anywhere tonight. She was stuck in the middle of nowhere with a damaged car, no flashlight, and wild animals lurking just outside her windshield. She was so in trouble.
