My grumpy, alpha, boss trains me in search and rescue… and we end up snowed in, sharing irresistible body heat like it’s the only thing keeping us alive.
I’ve been falling for Caleb Roarke for two years—the brooding leader who doesn’t look at me unless I’m pouring his coffee.
So, I do the only reckless thing and join the team with my dog.
He adjusts my harness, his hands steady while my pulse stumbles. The heat climbs my thighs as he catches me when I fall, and we share a heated look.
We are stranded overnight in a storm, bodies pressed together for warmth, pretending we’re only coworkers, which feels like a lie.
Then he slips a message into my pocket as I’m extracted, but the wind steals it before it's read.
Now he’s broken and unconscious in the hospital, and I’m realizing I’m left holding everything I never said.
Because I didn’t just fall for him—
I built my future around a man I might lose before he ever knows he’s mine.
A rugged, alpha hero meets a fierce woman ready to challenge him, along with her loyal SAR dog, who might be the first to notice she’s falling for him. With themes of friends-to-lovers, sweet slow-burn chemistry, and the irresistible pull of forbidden love, this story will have you hooked from the first page.
No cheating, no filler drama, just an obsessive search-and-rescue leader, a snowed-in cabin, and a first time that turns one stranded night into forever. If you love protective, grumpy heroes who melt for their sunshine heroines, this book is exactly what you need.
