This was going to hurt. My heart ached, beating double time, but I forced myself to gaze at her wee face. She scrunched up her nose, her eyes tight shut.My work with the mountain rescue gives me the right skills to help her, and I cannot resist this damsel in distress. A spike of interest zinged inside me. He couldn’t be much older than me, maybe eighteen. I was away from home and on a high. Good-looking boys were on my radar. I never cared about who I’d marry, only that I had to walk the aisle before I was twenty-one or lose my inheritance. Then a tiny, wild-haired beauty pulled a stunt that sent my heart into overdrive, and my pulse hasn’t slowed since. Revenge, he meant. I couldn’t hunt down the f***er whose lies had put me behind bars. I already knew this. It had been drilled into me in the fortnightly therapy I’d endured. Beyond that, I’d been working abroad for the last year of my engineering degree and I hadn’t seen Brodie. Until tomorrow. He’d be here in the afternoon, and I was itching to see my closest friend.

But someone is harassing me. Taking pot shots without showing their face. I need to work out who before it escalates and destroys the sanctuary of the very people I want to protect. Autumn has taken her baby nephew and is fleeing for their lives. Almost reaching the safety of a small wintery Washington State town, she narrowly avoids a collision as her car spins out on ice. The other driver is a huge mountain man who speaks only in glares. The instant attraction is like nothing she has experienced, but she isn't hanging around, no matter the enticement to stay.

She rested her chin on her hands. “Gotta admit, I wasn’t all that excited to go out on my own. I’m only here for another couple of weeks and don’t want to end up a working-vacation statistic.” With a steady glare, Leo stood. On his feet, he was a couple of inches taller than JJ. The light that had been in his eyes—amber irises, I noticed—turned cold. Flat. Scarlet knows what she wants. She has long lusted after her teenage crush—her beautiful brother-in-law. When their passionate encounter is interrupted by news of a child he has fathered, all hopes of a hookup go out the window. Maybe it’s for the best, as she's poised to take her career overseas. This was what I needed. A lass to flirt with rather than dwelling on thoughts that could ruin my friendship with Brodie.
