I’m the girl who defies expectations. The girl who’ll never stay inside that box you think will fit me.

And right now? I’m the girl working as event planner at my Navy pal’s mountain resort. We flew together in the Navy, and it feels right to be back with my squadron mates when they need help now.

But when I agreed to go check out some rustic backcountry cabins for the resort’s opening event, I didn’t plan on the so, so hot Mateo coming along with me. He’s a contractor at the resort, and he has this whole grumpy single dad widower thing going on… But since he’s got a kid, and family is the last thing I want, I’m staying far, far away.

Until we get stranded together in one of those cabins in a freak snowstorm.

And now? Staying away from him is the last thing I want to do. But he doesn’t fit my life plans any more than I fit his.
It’s a couple days (and insanely hot nights) in a cabin. Nothing else. I can do this. It’s only a crush, after all.

A full length standalone happily ever after with a mystery that runs through the whole Kasper Ridge series from USA Today bestseller Delancey Stewart.
