When my BMW skids up a gravel mountain road, I don't expect to end the day stranded in a storm and falling hard for the man I came to destroy.

As a high-powered environmental lawyer, I'm used to wielding cease-and-desist orders like weapons. This trip to Colorado was supposed to be quick and bloodless: serve papers to Cruz Construction, shut them down, and catch my flight back to the city.

Then I meet Dane Cruz. Six-foot-four of raw muscle, golden skin, and work-roughened hands that know how to build more than just homes. He's supposed to be the villain in my legal brief, but he sees right through the power suit and the armor. And when a mountain storm traps me in his unfinished cabin overnight, I see something in him, too.

Safety. Heat. A future I never let myself dream about.

But desire comes with consequences, and the closer I get to Dane, the more I realize I'm not just fighting for his business; I'm fighting for myself. For the woman I used to be, before I sold my soul to the firm.

A steamy, emotional small-town romance featuring a protective hero, a big-city lawyer heroine with something to prove, and slow-burn intimacy. Perfect for fans of forced proximity, mountain men, and stories where the rescue goes both ways. HEA guaranteed, no cliffhanger.
