About this ebook

Stuck in an outback cabin in a snowstorm with a stoic, blazing-hot, single dad. 

It’s every woman’s fantasy. 

Except mine. Because while Mateo is undeniably hot, he’s also got one of the things I’ve pretty much sworn I was never going to touch again–family. 

He lost his wife when his daughter was little. And from what I can tell? He’s been paying penance ever since, telling himself that he owes her something, even though she’s gone. 

And though we’re both resisting the tantalizing pull between us with everything we’ve got, there’s only so much willpower available inside a tiny two-room cabin in the middle of a freak summer snowstorm that doesn’t seem to be stopping any time soon. 

With only one bed…

The second full-length standalone in the Kasper Ridge series is full of swoony heat, off-the-charts spice, and Stewart’s signature humor. Grab it today!

Ratings and reviews

I haven’t read many books by Delaney Stewart but every book I have picked up I have found entertaining and enjoyable. I haven’t read book one in this series and it was only after picking up Mateo and Annalee’s story that I realised I really should have read that book first, that being said I still enjoyed this one and I will go back and catch up with the series in time for the next release. Mateo is a man that’s easy to love, hot, swoon worthy single dad who will always put his daughter first add in a smart, strong, female military pilot and you get a seriously hot combination. There is an instant attraction between these two but as much as they feel the attraction they know they shouldn’t cross the line. Problem is fate seems intent on putting them together and they find themselves in a cabin in the middle of a storm in the middle of know where with nothing else to do but get to know each other…. This was a emotional read and I really enjoyed my first visit to Kasper Ridge. Looking forward to reading more by the talented Delaney Stewart.

I enjoyed Mateo and Annalee’s story. The complex combination of emotions, unwanted attraction, sparks, heart and fate made for a powerful brew that went down smooth and easy but packed a punch. I was very happy to return to Kasper Ridge and I am already eagerly anticipating book three. This is my independent, impartial review.

Wowsa this book was absolutely fantastic and had me enthralled from the beginning until the end and the storyline flowed throughout the book. Mateo is a widow and father of 7yr old lily but when he starts having feelings for Annalee will he be able to move on from his deceased wife? Great story and I just couldn't put it down. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
