Maya Lin has built her life around one simple rule: everything goes according to plan.
As a brilliant architect on the brink of making partner, she can't afford mistakes, distractions, or the one person capable of turning her perfectly organized world upside down.
Then Leo Sterling walks back into her life.
Her brilliant, maddening, completely unpredictable ex-fiancé.
Three years after their disastrous breakup, Maya and Leo are forced to work together on the final inspection of a luxury desert resort. Neither expects a catastrophic sandstorm to trap them inside the resort's most secluded yurt—or to leave them with nowhere to go but back into each other's orbit.
No electricity.
No working water.
No escape.
And an absurd amount of expensive cheese and wine.
As the storm rages outside, the walls between them begin to crumble.
One bed becomes two people sharing warmth.
Old arguments become long-buried confessions.
And resentment slowly gives way to the love neither of them ever truly lost.
But surviving the storm is the easy part.
Once the skies clear, Maya must choose between the perfect life she's spent years building and the messy, impossible future she's never dared to want.
Because Leo doesn't need her to fix him.
He needs her to trust him.
And Maya is about to discover that sometimes the most beautiful things in life aren't built according to plan.
They survive the disaster.
Can they survive each other?
