A runaway bride, a mountain man, and only one night to forget everything.
I came back to Rock Creek to run the bakery, but when I find a beautiful woman stranded in a storm, everything changes.
Clara’s a runaway bride, escaping the mess of a wedding she caught her fiancé in the middle of. She’s staying at the Lodge to figure things out, and I tell myself I’ll help her get warm, and then send her on her way. One night, no strings.
But after that first touch, I can’t get her out of my head. She’s all I want, and as much as I try to fight it, every time we’re together, I feel myself falling harder.
Just when I think I’ve found something real, her ex shows up in Rock Creek, ready to win her back. But I’m done letting her walk away. If anyone’s going to hold on to her, it’s me. I won’t let him— or anything— stand in the way of what we could be.
