This is Book 6 (warm) in the 12-book Thurston Hotel Series of sweet-to-warm, stand-alone, contemporary romance novels, connected by common settings, characters and events.
On vacation in Spain, Bailey Thurston abandons her cautious existence as an accountant at her family-operated hotel for a whirlwind romance with Daniel O'Leary, a bush pilot in the Congo. Two weeks later, they're engaged. The next day, he vanishes to reappear a year later at Thurston Hotel, expecting her to receive him with open arms.
Not after he ripped her heart apart.
Dan is a natural charmer though, with answers that make her ache to believe in love again. As her family and the people of Bailey's mountain resort town of Harmony reach out to him, so does she. But Dan has a soul-corroding secret from his war-torn years in the Congo. A secret so awful the woman he loves would surely leave him because of it. Then he discovers that one man in Harmony is determined to reveal it.
