Gage Hamilton doesn't make mistakes. The former military operative is spending the holidays renovating his family's Alaska ski resort—not falling for the brilliant woman living next door.
Marley Adams came home hoping for a fresh start. Romance is the last thing on her mind, especially with the brooding, frustratingly handsome neighbor who seems determined to keep everyone at arm's length.
But when the danger Marley thought she'd escaped follows her, Gage's protective instincts take over.
As snow falls and Christmas draws near, working side by side at the resort becomes impossible to resist. Every stolen glance and lingering touch chips away at the walls they've both built.
Protecting Marley was supposed to be temporary. Falling for her was never part of the plan.
But this Christmas, Gage may discover that risking his heart is the bravest thing he's ever done.
Perfect for readers who love holiday romance, small-town Alaska, protective heroes, broody ex-military heroes, neighbors to lovers, romantic suspense, slow-burn chemistry, emotional healing, and cozy winter settings with a guaranteed happily ever after.
Escape to Alaska and fall in love with Gage and Marley today.
