The Rebel of Delta Rho Chi

Two New Men. One Controlling Father. And an Ex Who Won’t Let Go. This Time, Nicole’s Choosing for Herself.

When University of Washington senior Nicole Bryant learns that her ex-boyfriend, Nathan, is engaged to one of her Gamma Alpha Beta sorority sisters, her hopes for reconciliation are destroyed.

It’s the week before Christmas 1991 and, humiliated, Nicole returns to Ellensburg, her hometown. The problem? Her parents’ certain disappointment at the loss of the man they believed would make the perfect son-in-law for their daughter. Her sorority sister, Amy, throws her a lifeline: come to Big Mountain ski resort for the holidays with the diversion of a blind date. Nicole convinces her parents it’s the right solution for the problem.

The trip goes sideways and Nicole ends up stranded at a hunting and fishing lodge in the middle of nowhere Montana. Her rescuers are the lodge’s owner, Dusty Malloy, and his 24-year-old clerk, Sam Paxton, whose long hair and unkempt beard make a bad first impression. Despite Sam’s appearance, the simmering attraction between Sam and Nicole reaches the boiling point just as Amy arrives to whisk Nicole away for the planned ski trip.

Enter Beej Paxton, Sam’s estranged nephew – who is more like a brother – a seductive charmer who has agreed to be Nicole’s date for the ski vacation.

A concealed identity, an old rivalry, her controlling father, a regretful ex-boyfriend, and the man she’s fallen for, all converge to set off a different kind of New Year’s Eve fireworks.

Nicole – in a moment of rebellion – risks everything for love.
