I moved to the mountains to get away from everyone and everything. All I want is peace and quiet and it’s worked well for me over the last decade. But then she moves in next door and disrupts my solitude. Kylie—my new neighbor—with her smart@ss mouth and destructive dog. It’s obvious she doesn’t belong here with her designer boots and city girl attitude but she’s stubborn and won’t listen to reason. Despite all that, there’s no denying I want her. Her sass and defiancé get under my skin and admittedly turn me on. It’s a love/hate relationship in the most inconvenient way possible. When a snowstorm comes barreling through, it’s Kylie who’s at my doorstep needing heat and food because she’s completely unprepared. Although I’d warned her, she finally admits I was right. Between my hatred for her dog and her distaste for me, things are bound to get complicated. Secluded in my cabin together means the temperature rises, the gloves come off—but most of all—the arousal and chemistry moving between us reach its breaking point. **This is a 30,000-word standalone novella filled with steamy goodness and a rugged alpha male! Enjoy!**
