He hadn’t let anyone in for years. Then she knocked.
Anniston Clarke didn’t plan on getting stranded in the mountains outside Ridgewood Falls. She was supposed to be driving away from her broken engagement and the perfect life that was suffocating her… not straight into a storm with no signal, no help, and nowhere to go.
Until she spots a light through the trees.
Knox Wilder is everything she’s not. Rough, silent, and built for survival. He’s ex-special forces, living off the grid, and hasn’t let anyone close in years. But from the moment she knocks on his door—soaking wet, injured, and stubborn as hell—something shifts.
He tells her it’s just one night. A place to stay while they wait out the storm. Nothing more.
But the way he looks at her says something different.
Because once Knox lets someone into his world… he doesn’t let them go.
Now the storm isn’t the only thing keeping them in that cabin. And one night is about to turn into something neither of them can walk away from.
