They were brought together by adventure. But staying alive might be their greatest challenge yet.

Gage Prescott isn't interested in matchmaking—especially not the kind cooked up by George DiCarlo, who once hinted Gage would be a perfect match for his youngest daughter. Sure, Jonquil is beautiful, bold, and just as passionate about the outdoors as he is... but Gage isn't in the market for romance, no matter how tempting the trail companion.

Jonquil DiCarlo has a different reaction when she discovers her late father's not-so-secret wish. After watching her sisters fall for the men George nudged into their lives, she's intrigued by the rugged ski resort owner with a guarded heart. But Gage seems determined to keep her at arm's length—and her half-sister Angela seems equally determined to get his attention.

Just as Jonquil starts to crack Gage's defenses, danger strikes. Threats against his family escalate, and soon the two of them are caught in the crossfire. With someone willing to do anything to keep Gage quiet, their only option is to trust each other—and hope they can uncover the truth before it's too late.
