Braving the Storm (Crimson Ridge Book 2)

Briar Lane flees her life in Los Angeles to a remote Montana cabin after discovering a family secret, seeking refuge in the one place her family cannot find her: Crimson Ridge. She expects to start over alone, but discovers the abandoned cabin she inherited comes with an unexpected occupant. Stôrmand Lane, a former professional bull rider and her father's adopted brother, shares the small mountain space with her. Isolated together during harsh winters, both are running from their pasts. An initial misunderstanding nearly crosses a line neither should approach. Briar struggles with an attraction she knows is forbidden. Stôrmand represents everything she fantasizes about, yet he is a temptation she must resist. As long, dark nights in the tiny cabin test their resolve, the question becomes whether they can maintain the boundaries they've set, or if they will step into forbidden territory.
