She's a driven city girl who's not staying long. He's a laid-back mountain man who's never leaving.
Sparks are flying, and its high heels versus flannel shirts.

As the COO for Langston Hotels, I travel the world, but for the moment, I'm stuck in Windward, Colorado.
The town is small, has snow (shudder), and did I mention small? Once I finish renovations to our latest acquisition, I'm gone.
One man has become the bane of my existence: head of hotel maintenance, Everett Murray.
Does the man wear his uniform? No. He wears awful flannel shirts and jeans. So maybe the denim fits his long body like a glove, and the flannel stretches over wide shoulders, but that's beside the point.
I need the hotel to meet Langston standards, I need this job done so I can move on, and I won't let Everett slow me down.

It took a tragedy for me to realize Windward was home. I love my job. No endless hours, no stress, no missing out on what's important.
Then Piper Ellis struts into the hotel in her tight skirts and high heels. The woman is a high-maintenance headache I don't need.
But when her troublemaker brother blows into town, I see another side of Piper. The softer side she keeps hidden. When his troubles make her a target, I'm there to keep her safe.
She might be a city girl, and I'm a mountain man to the bone, but neither of us can fight the force of our attraction.
Still, I know that one day she'll pack her designer suitcase and leave, because everyone knows opposites might attract, but they don't stay together.
