I don’t talk much. Don’t need to. Twenty years as a SEAL sniper taught me silence keeps you alive. Now I live alone in the most remote cabin on Guardian Peak property.
Valentine’s Day is just another Tuesday to me. Romance is for men who deserve it.
Until Sadie Chen literally falls into my life. The bubbly hiking influencer came to these mountains to film “anti-Valentine’s adventure content” after a bad breakup.
Instead, she got lost in a February blizzard, and now she’s stuck in my cabin talking non-stop and making me feel things I buried a long time ago. She’s sunshine and chatter and everything I’m not.
I should hate having her here. Instead, I’m fighting the urge to make her mine. She came here to escape romance. Now she’s trapped with a man who’s never wanted anything more.
But the storm isn’t the only danger. The ex she’s running from followed her into my mountains. Fatal mistake. Nobody touches what’s mine.
And Sadie Chen became mine the second I pulled her from that snowbank.
