According to town gossip, I’m a grumpy mountain man.
They are right.
What I am not is a beach Barbie babysitter.
Yet, that is exactly what is going to happen.
After 10 years as an Army Ranger, all I want is the peace I find in my mountain cabin.
Winter is approaching.
I’m looking forward to long hours of reading in front of the fire.
What I am not expecting.
My best friend asking me to safeguard the woman who means the world to him.
All winter long.
She is gorgeous.
Fashionable.
Way too bubbly.
AND… from the city.
There are so many reasons why this woman is off-limits.
Yet, I can’t stop thinking about her.
I won’t lose my heart to the only woman who has ever made me want more.
She is heartbreak wrapped in a dark red bow.
I don’t believe in happily ever afters.
Do I?
This is a CLEAN heartwarming tale of love, healing, and the transformative power of embracing differences.
