~
Driven to leave her home of ten years by her persistent and toxic ex, Quinn lands her dream job in Colorado. Hoping the distance between Chicago and the small mountainside town will be far enough that he won’t find her. As the new Event Coordinator and Manager for Cardinal Hideaway, Quinn gets to enjoy world-class food while being surrounded by the most amazing mountain views. The visiting artist that just showed isn’t too bad to look at either.
Lukas is at the top of his game when it comes to surveillance, security, and keeping his family safe. When he gets his first art commission, it’s the perfect chance to prove his art is more than a hobby. As he arrives at the mountainside resort of Cardinal Hideaway, he instantly finds his muse. Only it isn’t just the mountain views, but the bombshell redhead who happens to work at the resort.
However, Lukas doesn’t do relationships. It rarely ends well for someone in his line of work, but he can’t resist her. Just as things heat up between Quinn and Lukas, her wished-to-be-forgotten ex invades her new life, causing her safety bubble to pop.
Lukas and Quinn are now intertwined as their worlds collide in a way neither of them expected.
Between Quinn’s stubborn will to be self-sufficient and Lukas’s overprotective nature, will they be able to find balance and keep each other safe?

Author

Hey everyone and welcome to my little corner of the world. I’m glad you’re here! I’m just a quirky, nerdy lady writing stories that are begging to be put on paper. I live in an adorable, little town in Indiana with my amazing husband, our adorable daughter, and our two cats. When I’m not holed up in my office, you can find me reading, drinking coffee and tea, hanging out with my family and friends, baking, working on DIY projects around the house, and playing D&D. I have been obsessed with reading and writing from a very young age. Growing up, it was all about The Baby Sitter Club and then Harry Potter and then The Arrows of the Queen. I started writing my first novel in high school, my second novel in college, and after teaching for a while and starting a family, I decided to tackle the dream of becoming an author. The rest is history. You’ll find my bookshelves filled with everything from YA to historical fiction to romance to classics to sci-fi and fantasy to mental health. It’s a mixed bag and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I hope to see you around! You can find out more about me and my work on my website or @booksbyemgarner on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook.
