"She came looking for solitude... I'll give her a reason to stay."

Callie Ryan

I came to Montana for peace and quiet, not a moody landlord with walls higher than the mountains surrounding his property.

Beau Montgomery is frustratingly handsome with his piercing eyes and capable hands. He's a man of few words, all of them gruff and spoken alongside a scowl that could freeze hell itself.

This is his sanctuary. And I've invaded it.

But when Hollywood calls me back, he's there-steady, protective, and unexpectedly gentle. Now I'm seeing another side of the brooding mountain man, one that makes my heart race.

And for the first time, success isn't what I'm hiding from.

Beau Montgomery

She's a pain in my ass.

A sassy little woman with the body of a goddess who doesn't think she has to listen to a word I say. And don't even get me started on how she drives like she just robbed a bank.

She's temporary. I don't do temporary.

Not since I learned how quickly everything can change.

But there's something about her that gets under my skin-the way she talks to her dog, how she sees through my defenses, the quiet strength behind her smile.

I've spent years building walls to keep everyone out. Now the one woman who shouldn't belong in my world is the only one I can't imagine living without.

After fifteen years of dedicating my life to this country, I didn't think I'd be put on my knees, begging for a chance at forever.
