When Cara Fernley literally runs away from a bad relationship and ends up in a small Montana town at the onset of the holidays, she only expects to fill up her tank, grab a bite to eat, and perhaps spend the night in her old pickup. But when an assistant manager job at the burger joint practically falls in her lap, and the climatized storage units across the street spawns an idea for a more-than-cheap place to live, she decides to stay awhile. At least until she can get back on her feet and her heart has a chance to heal.

That is until a handsome cowboy surprises her with a kiss under the mistletoe, and everything changes. She can't let her heart take a chance on another guy. But more than that; she can't get involved because where would she tell the guy to come and hang out or pick her up? To make matters worse she discovers her actions are not only prohibited by law, but the cowboy with whom she is falling in love has a connection with in the storage units.

Does she run away from a good relationship to avoid exposure; continue to lie to a man she loves; or share her secrets and risk losing everything?
