Since her husbandโs climbing death a year ago, Maureen Shannonโs relationship with her twelve-year-old daughter has spiraled out of control. Desperate, she resigns from her partnership at a legal firm and moves back to her hometown in Whitefish, Montana, with the hope that family and nature can heal their wounds. Her investment in a heli-skiing and lodge operation makes financial sense, but her attraction to the owner doesnโt. Heโs everything sheโs come to hateโa man who makes his living chasing adventure.
Jake Hartman knows Maureen Shannon is off limits. Sheโs an investor in his companyโa silent investor who's never silent. Worse, sheโs a mom whoโs beautiful, intelligent and makes him feel more alive than heโs ever known. A self-confirmed bachelor, he finds himself uneasily contemplating a very different partnership.
But will Maureen be able to let go of her past and build a future with a man who never imagined becoming a husband or a father?
