His best friend. A reckless attraction. Will their friendship—and his family—survive their love? Lucien Bergeron O’Rourke cherishes his newfound family and would do anything to protect and honor them. When he realizes Samantha is more than his best friend, he wants to steal her away from his brother’s attentions, an impossibility in the middle of a Montana winter. Besides, why would she choose him when she only sees him as a friend? Samantha Schmidt adores the O’Rourke family. Above all, she treasures Lucien, although he must never suspect her abiding affection. When she catches him eyeing her covetously, she realizes she must find a way to leave, no matter how much she loves him. For Lucien is unaware of her secrets. If he were, surely he’d find another, one more worthy of his devotion. As winter thaws and spring approaches, will Lucien find a way to convince Samantha of his ardor, or will she allow fear to ruin their growing love?
