A blizzard was supposed to be Rory Bell’s biggest problem. Instead, the sunshine-tough social worker becomes emergency guardian to her baby niece, and the only safe harbor she finds is in the arms of Timber Creek’s grumpiest rescuer.
Cade ‘Chief’ Mercer built Haven 7 to pull people out of bad situations, not to play house. But one whiteout, one bottle-warm baby, and one stubborn heroine later, the ex-military commander is offering a temporary ‘domestic arrangement’ to help Rory win custody. It'''s just for the judge…until the town starts calling them family and Cade can’t stop acting like it.
When a numbered brass tag—B-07—turns up in an abandoned line shack on Wedding Cake Mountain, the fake rings real fast. Someone is carving secret routes under the snow, and the shadowy Black Timber Syndicate wants Rory scared and gone.
Between midnight kisses, K9 patrols, and small-town meddling, Cade and Rory will have to outwit a faceless enemy, pass a home visit with flying colors, and decide if ‘temporary’ was ever the truth.
Mountain-hard. Mission-trained. Down to dote.
Welcome to Timber Creek—where rescue is his job…and she’s about to be his home.
