He called me Ice Queen on day one. By day three, I was melting in his arms.
Avery
I’m a corporate lawyer who thrives on structure—laminated itineraries are just good planning. Then snowmobile guide Brennan Shaw calls me Ice Queen and challenges me to handle something unpredictable. When a winter storm strands us alone in a backcountry cabin, he melts every wall I’ve built—and shows me what it feels like to finally be free.
Brennan
I escaped the corporate burnout by never caring too much about anything—until uptight, beautiful Avery walked into my world and reminded me what it means to feel. She thinks she’s broken, but I see someone brave enough to risk everything. One storm. One night. One chance to prove we’re worth the chaos.
A steamy opposites-attract mountain romance where two scared people find courage in each other’s arms. This is book three in the Winter Retreat in Evergreen Lakes series and can be read in an hour or less. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after in this standalone.
