Infuriating Grumpy Billionaire Boss:
He fires warnings like six-figure bullets.
I throw back coffee and sass.
We’re trapped in his glass lab with one rule—no mixing.
His glare could freeze solvent.
My smile could melt nickel.
One accidental spark over the reactor and I’m pinned to steel, pulse boiling.
He calls me reckless.
I call him sir, only when breathless.
Age gap? Fifteen years.
Hierarchy? Partner and intern chemist.
But the way he steadies my shaking test tube…makes me tremble more.
His board wants results, my visa depends on them, and the drug clock is ticking.
If I cross that yellow safety line I could cure cancer—or break my own heart.
So why am I already slipping off the gloves?
Claimed by Ex's Dad:
Who’s the silver-haired snowboarder with the jaw that could cut glass?
Oh no…
That’s my ex’s dad.
And he just became my colleague at the ski resort.
I came here to start over, not to fall for the man who taught my ex everything he knows.
Justin’s older, quieter, all muscle and control.
One smirk from him and I forget every reason this is wrong.
The mountain’s freezing, but his eyes burn hotter than the lodge fire.
Every time he helps me off the lift, I’m one breath away from crossing a line we can’t uncross.
He’s off-limits. Forbidden.
But when he calls me sweetheart in that low voice…
I start wondering if breaking the rules might be worth the fall.
Saved by Fearless Mountain Man:
He saved me once on the mountain…
I didn’t know he’d change my entire life.
I came for a fresh start.
I wasn’t supposed to be here—alone, lost, and completely out of my depth in the mountains. One wrong step changed everything… until Jesse found me.
Strong. Silent. Untouchable.
A man who reads the land like it speaks to him—and keeps everyone else at a distance.
He didn’t just get me down safely.
He brought me into a world I never knew existed.
A quiet life in the Hudson Valley.
A home built on trust instead of control.
A connection that feels deeper than anything I’ve ever known.
But loving a man like Jesse isn’t simple.
He doesn’t chase.
He doesn’t promise.
And the life he’s built doesn’t leave room for mistakes.
When everything we’ve created is tested—by change, by distance, by the very thing that brought us together—I have to decide…
Do I walk away from a man who never asked me to stay?
Or risk everything for a love that was never meant to be easy?
Because the mountain didn’t just save me…
It led me straight to the only man who could break my heart—or become my forever.
