“You want to use my photos?”

Sam grinned at Lacy an hour later and told himself it was good to actually surprise her. He enjoyed how her eyes went wide and her mouth dropped open.

“I do. And not just on the website, I’d like to use them in print advertising, as well.”

“Why—”

He tipped his head. “Don’t pretend you don’t know how good a photographer you are.”

“I don’t know how to respond to that without sounding conceited.”

“Well, while you’re quiet, here’s something else to think about.” He planted both palms on the edge of the desk and leaned in until he was eye to eye with her. “I’ll want some of your photos made into postcards that we can sell in the lobby of the lodge.”

“Postcards.”

“Hey, some people actually enjoy real mail,” he told her and straightened up. “We can have a lawyer draw up terms—all nice and legal, but I’m thinking a seventy-thirty split, your favor, on the cards and any prints we sell. As for the advertising, we’ll call that a royalty deal and you’ll get a cut every time we use one of your photos.”

Sam shrugged into his jacket as he left the hotel and headed out into a yard that boasted green splotches of grass where the snow was melting under a steady sun. He took a deep breath, glanced around at the people and realized that it had taken him two years of being away to discover that his place was here.

His life was here.

And he wanted Lacy in his life again. Smiling to himself, Sam decided he was going to romance the hell out of her until he got just what he wanted. That slope he needed for the lodge expansion was going to have to wait, he told himself as he headed for his car. Because if Lacy found out he wanted the property she owned, she would never believe he wanted her for herself.

Lacy’s nose wrinkled at the rich, dark scent of the latte Kristi carried as the two of them walked along Historic Twenty-Fifth Street in downtown Ogden. The street was narrow with cars parked in front of brick and stone buildings that had been standing for more than a hundred years. Twenty-Fifth Street had begun life as the welcome mat for train travelers, then it morphed into a wild blend of bars and brothels.
