Willowbrook Ridge Lodge

Working in the lodge’s kitchen, my job is to keep the food coming and make the guests happy. Every morning, when the older, rugged ranger comes in for breakfast, I can’t stop my heart from racing. David is completely off-limits—he’s my boss’s brother, and one wrong move could ruin everything. The way his eyes linger on me, like he’s imagining all the things he wants to do…it makes me wonder if taking the risk might be worth it.

Tammy: Returning to Shady Pines Lodge feels like a fresh start—until I’m met with the head cook’s intense, unreadable stares. I don’t know what I did to get on Daniel’s bad side, but every time I catch him looking at me, I can’t tell if it’s hatred or something else entirely. I should have known my streak of bad luck with this mountain wasn’t over yet—especially now that I’m trapped here by the storm. Daniel: I’m not looking forward to dealing with the health inspector again.

Working as the receptionist at Shady Pines has its perks, especially when the handsome handyman shows up. Every time Levi walks through the door, my heart races a little faster. There’s something about his easy smile that draws me in, but I can’t shake the feeling that he’s not just here for repairs. When he asks me out to lunch, I’m thrilled but terrified. Does he really want me, or am I reading too much into this?
