Snowed in with the one man I never want to see again? Not my dream holiday vacation.
My charming cabin getaway starts by fending off a bear attack with my rolling pin.
Except… the bear is actually my best friend's brother. The star hockey player who stole my heart and broke it.
Thanks, blizzard. Now I'm stuck alone with Caleb. He's still frustratingly hot and cocky as ever.
This is what I get for taking time off from my beloved bakery.
At least there are enough beds… but only one hot tub.
Despite the cold, the inescapable heat between us sizzles. For every inch of space I keep from him, he crosses it to make my control unravel.
I can't fall for how tempting he looks, chopping firewood to keep us warm.
Or how irresistible it is when he takes care of all my problems before I realize them.
Not again.
Caleb won't wear me down, no matter how hard he tries to convince me I'm the one who got away.
Once the snow clears, we're going our separate ways.
If he believes this is his second chance to win me back, well… he can kiss my sugar cookies.
