When a city cop meets a curvy mountain girl…

Ava Dawson has always been comfortable with her quiet life in the small mountain town she calls home. Running her little bookstore, she's content hiding behind her books and avoiding the risk of heartbreak—especially with her curvy figure that too many men have made her feel insecure about. But when big-city cop Ryan Callahan rolls into town, all of her carefully built walls start to crumble.

Ryan came to the mountains to escape the chaos of the city and clear his head. He didn't expect to find himself captivated by Ava—the beautiful, curvy woman who takes his breath away. Their chemistry is instant, the attraction undeniable, but with his return to the city looming, Ryan knows his time with her is limited.

Ava tries to guard her heart, fearing Ryan will be just like the others who left her behind. But Ryan sees the real her—the smart, passionate, and irresistible woman she tries to hide. As their connection deepens, so does the heat between them.

When the time comes for Ryan to leave, both will have to face the hardest decision of their lives: will love be enough to bridge the distance between them, or will Ava's fear of rejection and Ryan's duty to his job tear them apart?
