He's a stern bodyguard who never cracks a smile, and she's the woman he can't forget after one night together. When he returns months later, vowing to stay forever, will she dare to trust him with her heart?

Briana
I came to Hideaway Mountain for a fresh start. After growing up on a reservation and watching my father slowly kill himself with alcohol, I was desperate to leave South Dakota once he passed. It’s a bit ironic that I now work as a bartender at the Hideaway Inn, but I’ve quickly come to love my job and the charming little town I now call home. Romance was the last thing on my mind when I met Beau Weston—a big, broody bodyguard only in town for the night. We had a great time together before he returned to California, and though I haven’t been able to stop thinking about him, I never expected to see him again. But now he’s back in town for New Year’s Eve, calling me his girl. As much as I want to believe it, can I really trust him not to leave me again?

Beau
I met Briana Blackfeather on one of the worst nights of my life, after a fire nearly killed the woman I’d been hired to protect. As a bartender, Bri is an expert at providing a sympathetic ear to people having a bad day, but the type of comfort she decided I needed had nothing to do with a strong drink and a friendly chat. I was hesitant to go the morning after, but my beautiful new obsession seemed determined to label us as nothing more than a one-night stand. So, I left, knowing without a doubt I’d return to Hideaway Mountain as soon as possible to claim Bri’s heart, just as she had claimed mine. But when I arrive back in town, convincing her we're meant to be proves more difficult that I imagined. I'm not giving up though—I left Bri once, and I never make the same mistake twice.
