For some reason the dangerously sexy Falls Lodge owner has decided to personally play a part in her metamorphosis. She is determined not to fall for the taciturn man who has “commitment phobic” written on his forehead, but Ted is the only man who has ever seen the real her beneath the quietness. As her past comes calling, she realizes that with Ted it’s not just her heart that’s at risk … it’s her life. Her big, bad protector Ted Hosking has no problem with hard work or living in the spotlight; it’s what he knows and how he’s built his business. He’s a take-charge kind of guy, so how is it possible he has no clue how to handle Mandy Robbins? She scares him. There’s no getting around that. Gentle, sweet, and shy, she’s Ted’s opposite in every way. There shouldn’t be any surprises in life, not for a man as jaded as he. But when he leaves her bed after their first night together, everything changes. What he feels for her has the power to change the very foundation he’s built his life on, and that shocks him to the core. When danger looms and threatens Mandy, he knows that staying away for her protection is no longer an option.

He's never been the type to stay in one place for very long anyway. After all, settling down means opening up. And there's no way Jax is about to put his heart on the line. Not again. Bria Sheridan had no intention on finding herself in a sleepy small town, especially since she needs to turn in a juicy photo assignment or risk losing her job completely.

Jax might be the only one who can help Bria get the photo shoot of her career. And as long as they can keep their undeniable attraction for each other casual with no expectations, everything will work out. But that's a lot to gamble on, especially since neither of them counted on having any real feelings for each other. But when those feelings are put to the test, will their connection be strong enough to save them? Or will the chance for love be lost for good?
