Autumn O'Dea tried to see only the best in people, and her older brother Killian always protected her from the bad. While Killian's half-orphan upbringing made him cynical, Autumn tended to remain open and warm. However, after a series of relationship failures and the unpleasant realization that she was wandering aimlessly through life, Autumn wondered if she had become too vulnerable to the world. Deciding that a break from her brother's safety blanket and an aimless life in Glasgow is just what she needs to find herself, Autumn accepts her friend's offer to stay at a ski resort in the snowy mountains of Montana. And free time away from guys, alone on Whitetail Mountain, is what you need to understand yourself. Autumn didn't expect to one day run into sexy Grayson King on the ski track. She had never met a man like Gray. Self-confident, cynical, smart, with a caustic sense of humor. Compared to him, all the men Autumn had dated seemed like boys. Her attraction to Gray puts her on the defensive, because her open, trusting heart has caused relationships to end in breakups in the past. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult to resist a man who intends not only to seduce her, but also wants to help her find her purpose in life and accept herself for who she is. Autumn knows she shouldn't fall in love with Gray. This could end badly. In the end, their lives are separated by an ocean, and the inevitable separation means a broken heart again...
