She thought she could outrun her past. He never let go of their future.

When Emma returns to Devil's Peak for one last adventure, the last thing she expects is to cross paths with Slate Warner—the man whose heart she broke a decade ago. She left him and the mountain life behind to chase her dreams, but the ruggedly sexy mountain man she once loved has only grown more irresistible, and now he's built a life she's not sure she belongs in.

Slate has spent years burying his feelings behind the rugged facade of the business he's built alongside his brothers on Devil's Peak. But when Emma shows up out of nowhere, all those old desires burn hotter than ever, threatening the carefully constructed walls around his heart. He swore he'd never let her get close again—but the pull between them is impossible to resist.

As a sudden snowstorm traps them in a remote cabin, Emma and Slate find themselves facing the truth of everything they left unsaid. The heat between them builds, sparking a passion that's as wild and untamed as the mountain itself. But when the storm clears, will Emma choose the life she's built, or risk everything for a second chance at the love she never truly let go?
