He swore he could never love again. Life taught him that promises are easier kept when the heart stays closed. But when he finds her stranded in a blizzard, fierce and beautiful, with a child and grandmother depending on her, every vow begins to unravel.
He offers her shelter at his motel, telling himself it is only protection, nothing more. Yet one kiss sets him on fire, one touch strips away his defenses, and suddenly he cannot imagine life without her.
But his past is dangerous, filled with shadows that do not forgive. When enemies resurface, both her secrets and his demons collide.
To save the woman who changed everything, he will risk it all. The question is—will love be enough?
