After one reckless night that still haunts my skin, I take a job I desperately need at a remote ski lodge. The problem? My boss is the man who wrecked my self-control.
I just graduated, got betrayed by my ex, and swore off men like they're federally banned. My fresh start was supposed to be simple: keep my head down, balance the books, and rebuild my shattered confidence.
Then I meet Grant Lawson, my new silver-fox, grumpy boss.
At thirty-nine, the former hockey legend has stoic charm and powerful hands that ruin my common sense. He's respectful in a way that makes me want to misbehave. Every glance feels like a dare I shouldn't take.
Then a blizzard traps us at Snowcap Lodge with screaming guests and a dying furnace. We ration supplies and keep the place alive on stubbornness and caffeine. The storm rages outside while tension burns between us inside.
His mouth steals my last good decision, and his hands make me forget my own name. I sip coffee like I can't still feel his lips on me. Every conversation feels charged. Every accidental touch ignites something dangerous.
He stays calm under pressure and listens like I'm the only thing that matters. He sees me, really sees me, in a way no one else ever has.
That's what made me fall for him.
But Grant is also my older brother's former hockey coach and close friend. They're still tight. My brother worships him.
So we keep our hook-up hidden, especially when my protective brother shows up unannounced at the lodge.
If the truth gets out, I'll lose my brother's trust, my job, and everything I've rebuilt.
And I'll never risk my heart again.
