Refuge in the Rockies: A Forced Proximity, Enemies to Lovers, Small Town Romance

I’m snowbound in a blizzard with the most eligible bachelor in this small town, and every glance is a spark, every touch a brand of fire.

Fame was my prison so I shattered those bars. I fled to the Rockies with my secret as my armor.

Then the blizzard hits. Andhe rescues me. Cole Landry.

A rancher carved from grief, his eyes holding storms I recognize.

He’s raw. He’s real. And something in me answers. My walls begin to crumble.

He doesn't just see my scars; his quiet strength makes me feel dangerously safe.

This isn’t just lust, it’s an ache deep in my soul, a terrifying pull towards the man beneath the ice.

But my past has fangs and it's closing in. Cole’s offering more than shelter; he’s offering a fragile, impossible hope.

To trust him, to let myself love him, could mean my ruin … or the one thing that finally sets me free.
