Attending the charity masquerade ball was my chance to let loose for one night. And as soon as I see him, I let the handsome stranger show me the hottest night of my life. Except then I learn he isn’t a stranger. He’s my new boss. Tessa I’m Windward born and bred. I love my family, my town, and my dream job managing my hotel. But now we’ve been bought by Langston Hotels. Cue stress and panic. I’ll do anything to make sure they don’t ruin the charm and turn my hotel into a slick, modern, soulless shell. What I wasn’t counting on was jet-setting hotelier Ambrose Langston. Handsome, bossy, with a wide workaholic streak. It doesn’t take me long to realize he’s also the man I let do very wicked things to me. Ro Transforming the Windward Resort is next on my plan. I’m on a mission to make Langston Hotels thrive and rub my father’s face in it. What I never expected was the locals of Windward being less than happy with my acquisition. And I definitely wasn’t expecting Tessa Ashford. I’ve always been professional with my employees, unlike my philandering father, but smart, beautiful Tessa—the mysterious woman who rocked my world—makes it a challenge. Working side by side, all I can think about is her. I never stay. I work, then leave. But she has me questioning everything. Then the strange “accidents” start happening. Someone doesn’t want me in Windward. Now, I need to keep Tessa safe from whoever wants me gone.

I never expected to become a single mom. Back in my Colorado hometown, all I have time for is work and raising my grieving nephew. I don’t have time for a man. Especially a tall, dark, and broody one. Allie I’ve swapped city life for small town. Designer suits for a housekeeping uniform. And don’t get me started on my lack of sleep. But I’d do it all again in a heartbeat to take care of my nephew. Now my life revolves around running hotel housekeeping at the Langston Windward and taking care of my kiddo. Oh, it also involves trying to avoid our cold, scowling, ex-military head of security. Everywhere I turn, I see Caden Castro and his muscled body and inky-black eyes. And every time I see him, he’s watching me. Caden As head of security for Langston Hotels, my job is to fly in, upgrade security, then fly out. Since I left the military, I keep my life simple and avoid distractions. Works helps me escape the memories and guilt that never go away. Except, since I came to Windward, all I can think about is Allie Ford. It isn’t just her long legs and lean body, it’s her fierce attitude and spirit. But she’s a hard-working single mom, and I’m a man with nothing to offer. Then a group of dangerous guests into extreme sports arrive. They have trouble written all over them, and when Allie gets sucked into that trouble, it changes everything. Whatever line I have to cross, I’ll do it to keep her safe.

She’s a driven city girl who’s not staying long. He’s a laid-back mountain man who’s never leaving. Sparks are flying, and its high heels versus flannel shirts. Piper As the COO for Langston Hotels, I travel the world, but for the moment, I’m stuck in Windward, Colorado. The town is small, has snow (shudder), and did I mention small? Once I finish renovations to our latest acquisition, I’m gone. One man has become the bane of my existence: head of hotel maintenance, Everett Murray. Does the man wear his uniform? No. He wears awful flannel shirts and jeans. So maybe the denim fits his long body like a glove, and the flannel stretches over wide shoulders, but that’s beside the point. I need the hotel to meet Langston standards, I need this job done so I can move on, and I won’t let Everett slow me down. Everett It took a tragedy for me to realize Windward was home. I love my job. No endless hours, no stress, no missing out on what’s important. Then Piper Ellis struts into the hotel in her tight skirts and high heels. The woman is a high-maintenance headache I don’t need. But when her troublemaker brother blows into town, I see another side of Piper. The softer side she keeps hidden. When his troubles make her a target, I’m there to keep her safe. She might be a city girl, and I’m a mountain man to the bone, but neither of us can fight the force of our attraction. Still, I know that one day she’ll pack her designer suitcase and leave, because everyone knows opposites might attract, but they don’t stay together.
