No small talk. No personal questions. No lies. And no pretending he's ready to give his heart to anyone. Anyone like vulnerable Brianna McKaslin—who was stood up in the same restaurant!
Life in Montana raising his teenage brother was supposed to stay simple and safe. When Brianna's car is stolen right outside the bakery, Max refuses to leave her stranded in the dusk. Offering his warm jacket and calling for a cruiser was meant to be plain courtesy.
Crossing paths through spring blizzards and car trouble chips right through his tough defenses. The lovely, kind, Christian woman is everything the embittered cop used to dream about in a bride. And Max can't be the one who lets her get away.
