A woman who's sworn off love. Her brother's best friend who's loved her in secret for years. And one unforgettable Alaska getaway that changes everything.

Aidan McNamara has spent years protecting everyone around him. The former military operative turned security expert has one rule he's never broken: don't fall for his best friend's little sister.

But risking her heart means trusting the one thing Becca swore she'd never believe in again.

Love.
