According to town gossip, I’m a grumpy mountain man.

They're right.

What I 'm not is a beach Barbie babysitter.

Yet, that is exactly what's going to happen.

After 10 years as an Army Ranger, all I want is the peace I find in my mountain cabin.

Winter's approaching.

I’m looking forward to long hours of reading in front of the fire.

What I'm not expecting.

My best friend asking me to safeguard the woman who means the world to him... his sister.

All winter long.

She's gorgeous.

Fashionable.

Way too bubbly.

AND… from the city.

There are so many reasons why this woman's off-limits.

Yet, I can’t stop thinking about her.

I won’t lose my heart to the only woman who has ever made me want more.

She's heartbreak wrapped in a dark red bow.

I don’t believe in happily ever afters.

Do I?

Just a sweet lovestory

Just a sweet love story. No spice , physical attraction becomes love. the author of this book makes it clear she believes living together before marriage is not the best way for a solid relationship. The robotic voice narrating the story makes it a little harder to get into. Good read for a preteen.
