He was a grumpy jerk.

And I wanted nothing to do with him.
Absolutely nothing at all.

So why couldn’t I stay away?

I lost everything when my family was murdered. Including myself. After years of therapy and conquering my agoraphobia, all I wanted was to start over. The quiet North Carolina resort seemed like the perfect place.

Until I discovered a dead body.

The only person who believed me is the last person I expected...surly mountain resort owner and recluse Ford Collier. A man who is rumored to have killed his own teammate on his last deployment as a Marine.

As dangerous complications arise, I’ll either learn to trust again or neither of us will make it out alive.
