One night, one spark, and one unexpected connection—can their Valentine's fling turn into forever?

Gabe Beaumont never planned to play hero when he came to New York. He just wanted to clear his head before the biggest job interview of his career. But when he sees a wild-haired woman in a fiery red coat tempting fate at the edge of a frozen pond, instinct takes over. One rescue, one tumble into the icy water, and one unforgettable clash of wills later, Gabe is left rattled—and intrigued.

Mercedes Robbins doesn't need saving, especially not by a brooding, broad-shouldered Cajun who looks at her like she's both a headache and a miracle. After a spectacular Valentine's Day dating disaster, she's ready to shake off the blues with a no-strings, one-night distraction. And when fate throws Gabe back into her path, she figures he'll do just fine.

But the lines between a fling and forever begin to blur when chemistry ignites something deep and undeniable. Gabe knows one night will never be enough—can he convince Mercedes to take a chance on more?
