Look, there’s a reason why I live by myself in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. My time in the military left my mind and body scarred. Finding out my ex-fiancée screwed me over me while I was overseas just rubbed salt in the wound.

I’m not fit to be around other people, so I keep myself to myself and live off the grid. Being alone suits me. I’m better off that way.

Or at least that’s what I think.

Then she shows up on my doorstep. She claims the Valentine’s Day flowers she’s delivering are from a secret admirer, but f*ck that. Even if they are, I don’t care. All I can see is her.

Her sweet mouth and wicked tongue demand to be claimed. Her perfect body is begging to be touched and taken.
When a freak blizzard strands her with me in the wilderness, it takes all my restraint to keep my hands to myself and remain a gentleman. Her every move tests me, tempts me, tortures me.

There’s no way an innocent, sheltered flower delivery girl can fall for a gruff, rugged, lonely mountain man like me.

Chocolatier and town newcomer Luke Bradford loves his shop’s new home. Mostly because it means he gets to do his new favorite thing every day, which is to lock horns with the feisty beer-brewing beauty next door, both business-wise and otherwise.

Just kidding. He has no defense.

Brewmaster and town sweetheart Dani Dobson is declaring war against her hot, maddening new menace of a neighbor. And his shop. He absolutely started it. She’s just picking up the chocolate-covered gauntlet he unintentionally threw down.

The terms? Her business versus his in the arena of romance.

The stakes? Very likely, her heart.
