What's a stranded single mom doing in the fortress of a growly, off-limits fireman?
Everything is falling apart.
My suitcase snapped in the slush, my six-year-old is turning blue, and the only person who can save us is my brother's best friend.
Grant McCoy is a wall of granite and steel who hasn't smiled since high school.
Now we're trapped in his immaculate museum of a house while an ice storm buries the town.
He has strict rules and a past he keeps under lock and key.
But when he makes pancakes for my son and holds me while I'm falling apart, the frost between us starts to melt.
Just as I'm starting to feel safe in his arms, my past comes knocking with a court order and a threat to take my son.
Grant says he'll be our shield, but the closer we get, the more I realize he's fighting his own internal fire.
I'm falling for the one man I'm not allowed to have.
If his secrets don't break us, my ex-husband certainly will.
