A runaway bride, a gruff mountain man who doesn't do relationships, and a complication that rocks them both…
Every woman in town has a crush on North Winter. Every woman except Amber Stone, that is. The muscled tree surgeon is her best friend. Her co-worker. Her shoulder to cry on. And everybody knows you don't mess up a friendship with desire. Maybe that's why she doesn't see him as a potential lover until she runs away from her cheating fiancé on their wedding day and into his strong, safe arms. For the past ten years, North has been Amber's friend and protector. Now he's imagining himself as something more. He may not be great at relationships—or showing his emotions, for that matter—but for her, he's willing to try. Then Amber discovers a secret. One that will change the way North looks at her if he finds out. He's always been the one person she can confide in. Her safe harbor in a storm. Now she's afraid she could lose him for good...
