Blair Quinn is running out on everything—her job, her family, and her jackass boyfriend. 

With nothing but her designer luggage and a god-awful sense of direction, she finds herself a temporary resident of the quaint, alpine town of Hamel. Snow-capped and picturesque, until a grizzling mountain man demands she vacate the land he's claimed as his own. 

Beau Mattsson likes his mountain the way it is—quiet, secluded, and vacant. When he surprises his new neighbor half-naked and living out of a suitcase, the last thing he feels is pity. But there's something about the flighty woman that has him brokering a deal. If Blair can help revive his struggling business before winter, Beau can learn to share the mountain he loves, temporarily.

As their deadline draws near, Beau's impenetrable walls start to crumble and the thought of returning to his reclusive life is no longer a comfort. Blair can't shake the feeling that her past is stalking her, and even a hulking mountain man can't keep her safe.
