He’s my ex’s older brother, and the grumpy park ranger that drives me crazy.

I’ve spent years convinced Harlon Giles hates me.

Despite being a loyal, loving girlfriend to his brother, Harlon treated me like I was the scourge of the town—every glance a warning, every word short, sharp, and dismissive.

After Jayce broke up with me, I was glad to be rid of Harlon, too…the broody jerkface!

So when a freak blizzard hits Hope Peak on my way to spend Christmas with my best friend, Harlon’s the last person I want to find in the mountain cabin I stumble upon.

Snow-dusted, scowling, and still as annoyingly hot as I remember, he’s forced to take shelter in the same tiny cabin. Oh joy.

Except now, something feels different.

Every time our eyes meet, the intensity has me sweating. Whenever he says my name, my pulse goes wild. And when we accidentally touch—I lose all coherent thought.

With one bed, a crackling fire, and nowhere to hide, I finally learn why Harlon’s been a first-class dirtbag all this time…

And he’s running out of reasons not to act on it.
