BLURB:

One blizzard. One bed. One dare between best friends.

Valerie

I’d have ditched the small Vermont town I grew up in years ago, if my mom hadn’t gotten cancer.

After exploring the world, I’d come back and marry my responsible friend Jack. Since I never left, we stayed friends.

But when we get stranded together in a blizzard, and I dare him to do something unpredictable…

I don’t expect him to strut around in a towel and woo me like I’ve never been wooed before. And I certainly don’t expect him to be so… skilled.

Except now I’m terrified of breaking both our hearts when I tell him my plans to leave town.

Jack

I’ve secretly been in love with Valerie since high school.

When her mom’s diagnosis dashed her study abroad plans, I knew she needed a friend, not a boyfriend.

After years of yearning, I get my chance when we’re stranded together. But I don’t want a fling with Valerie, even if being with her surpasses my wildest fantasies.

I need to prove that I’m the one for her, because I want forever.

But now that her mom is recovered, the clock is ticking.

I’d do anything to help Valerie spread her wings and soar. Even if all I want is to put down roots with her.
