Days before Christmas... my fiance cheated on me

Devastated and not paying attention to where I was driving, I found myself lost in the mountains in a snowstorm.

Brick
The mountains had always been my escape, my protection.
I wasn't the good guy, far from it, but even I knew when I needed to lay low.
That was until someone crashed into my life, literally.
The moment I laid eyes on her, I felt drawn to her.
It turned out, this beauty was feisty, sassy, and absolutely addictive, but she was keeping something from me...
And I wasn't talking about her a-hole fiance.
Problem was that I was too damaged for a pure soul like her.
But when my past comes knocking, putting Amelia in danger, I had only one option.
Risk everything I'd worked for to protect her.

The need to see my family has me trying to beat a storm by driving through a mountain pass and snowflakes the size of my fist. Out of nowhere a handsome, if slightly grumpy good Samaritan, rescues me from spending a night freezing my patootie off in my rental car.

But the peace and quiet I sought, is quickly interrupted by thunder snow, and a journalist with an attitude twice her size and a pair of the cutest... dimples.
After years of keeping my emotions in check and guarding my heart, my handsome rescuer shows me the best gift of all may just come in a man-sized package.
