One unexpected storm, and one completely off-limits boss…and I’m right in the middle of it.
Taking this temporary assignment in Evergreen Falls was supposed to be a fresh start—for me and my daughter.
Instead, I drive straight into a thunderstorm, my car breaks down on a remote gravel road, and the first person I meet is Andrew Langley—my new boss and the grumpiest man I’ve ever encountered.
He’s powerful, guarded, and impossible to read. And thanks to a weather-induced power outage, we’re suddenly stuck in the same cabin. With only one bed. And a whole lot of tension.
He doesn’t do small talk, and I don’t do cold shoulders. But the more time we spend together—over candlelit dinners, quiet lakeside mornings, and laughter sparked by my daughter’s crayons—the more I see cracks in his walls.
He’s off-limits. Untouchable. But every glance, every almost-touch, makes me wonder… what if the life I never dared to imagine is starting right here?
Even the iciest hearts can thaw. And sometimes love shows up in the middle of a storm- melting his walls, unraveling my guard, and making me fall just as hard.
