What happens when the guy fostering my dog while I'm deployed turns out to be my one-night-stand from the night before I left town? Prior to leaving town for a military assignment, I had the best sex of my life with a guy whose name I never got. Now I'm home, sleeping in with my husky who was kenneled during my six-month deployment, and waking up to an angry phone call from a guy claiming to have my escape artist of a dog. Coincidently, he's the guy who took care of her while I was gone. Imagine my surprise when I walk the couple of blocks and come face to face with the guy who rocked my world and starred center stage in my fantasies for the last one-hundred and eighty days of my monotonous life. Something about him feels like home. I knew it the night we met and kicked myself for not exchanging information. Now, I have a second-chance, but after another amazing night together he ghosts me—much like I did to him six months ago—and I'm left heartbroken, falling faster than I should have for the sexy man who feels perfect for me. Can I blame him for putting on the brakes? And if not, how much time do I give him to realize we're perfect for each other? !!

Brandi is visiting her daughter for her first Christmas away from their Arizona home, and although she skied in her youth, it’s been years and she’s not prepared for the temperamental Colorado weather.
