Aubrey Whitmore is used to being underestimated. Sassy, curvy, and fiercely protective of her small-town bookstore, she doesn’t back down. Especially not to men like Adrian Hayes. Cold.

Controlling. Infuriatingly hot. The billionaire developer may have plans to level her shop in the name of “urban renewal,” but she has every intention of showing him exactly who’s boss.

Then the blizzard hits.

Trapped together overnight, what begins as barbed banter turns into something neither of them expected—a quiet emotional intimacy that lingers long after the storm has passed. Aubrey swore she’d never fall for the arrogant alpha. Adrian swore he didn’t have a heart to give.

But walls crack. Guards lower. And eventually, one night changes everything.

Now there’s more than unresolved tension between them. There’s a baby on the way, and a future neither of them planned for.

As snow gives way to spring and business turns personal, Adrian must decide if he’s ready to build something real. And Aubrey must decide if letting him in means risking more than just her heart.
