Spending the winter at a friend's borrowed cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains was supposed to give Lucy Pond time to finish her novel and look for a permanent place to live after a big breakup. But being Florida-born and raised didn't prepare her for dangers like mountain lions, bears, and hypothermia. Most of all, she didn't expect the danger of living next door to a sexy mountain of a man whose muscled body makes her bones melt even when he's glaring at her.
Gabriel Mason isolated himself in a remote cabin to escape his grief. The last thing he wants is Lucy for a neighbor. Not only does she look like a strong wind could knock her over, she doesn't know the first thing about surviving on a mountain in winter. But Lucy's solemn eyes and wistful smile crack him open in unexpected ways, and soon he's giving into the heat that blazes whenever they're together. Still, Gabriel knows he's broken. He may want Lucy, but he has no right to share her future.
