Summary
He resists putting down roots. Fear keeps her planted in place. By opening their hearts, they could offer each other the world.
Nina Pettit left behind fame and trauma when she moved from Boston to Polaris, Utah. She changed her last name and went into hiding to enjoy a quiet life. Instead of performing on stage as a professional cellist, she now teaches music to children. When a handsome traveling private duty nurse arrives to care for Nina’s elderly neighbor, she finds herself drawn to the charming man.
Colin Moynahan’s rough boxing days are long behind him. His job as a private duty nurse allows him to travel the world. While working in Polaris, he’s introduced to Nina, and an attraction ignites. As he learns about her past, he promises to care and protect her for as long as his temporary stay in Polaris allows.
But when innocent flirtation turns to deeper feelings, the lines between them blur. Colin has resisted establishing roots while Nina’s fear keeps her firmly planted. As threats to Nina reappear in the form of the man she’d help send to jail, Colin returns to fighting mode, willing to sacrifice it all for the woman he loves.
***content warning for stalking, kidnapping, and brief remembered physical abuse***
Excerpt
Nina peered inside through one of the long, narrow windows flanking the front door of the restaurant, not sure if she hoped to see Colin or not. He had her all mixed up, and she wasn’t sure how she felt about the addition to her already off-balance psyche. Since half walls blocked the tables towards the rear of the building, she couldn’t see the entire space. The bar was busy, and Nina saw several men with dark hair, but no one with Colin’s tall, athletic build. None who made her heart race and her palms sweat.
She loved the way his smile lit up his entire face and made his eyes twinkle with some secret mischief. He was a man of contradictions. Tough looking and strong, as well as a private duty nurse who treated Bea with the same dignity, kindness, and respect she imagined he showed all his patients.
She could trick herself into believing she’d only come to discover if he was good enough for Bea. But honestly, she was standing outside in the cold because she was attracted to a nice guy who killed it in the looks department—double trouble.

Summary
'A beautiful story of loss and new love, set in a snow-capped mountain ski resort town.'
Celia Batista waited a long time for all three of her sons to be together for Christmas. But after one of her identical twins disappears without a trace, Celia must rely on Police Captain Luke Veldkamp for help. Despite Luke’s accusations that her other twin son is involved with organized crime, she falls for the handsome, Stetson wearing cop.
Luke Veldkamp is facing his first Christmas after the loss of his wife, working nonstop to avoid the holidays and his grief. His daughter, who’d moved home to care for her mom before her passing, pushes him to face his pain. Luke pushes back, telling her to return to college and regain her own life. If his own strife isn’t enough, the mission to locate the missing son of his beautiful neighbor grows more personal than any other case.
While Luke and Celia fight to keep their families from falling apart, they find comfort and strength in one another. And when love blooms between their children, Luke and Celia’s own relationship takes root and grows. But Celia is used to living on her own terms, and loving a man who has isolated his heart is a risk too great. Now, Luke must either confront his emotions or face a life without the woman he’s come to love.
