Meet Willow Winters:
I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day โ sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?
I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. Itโs insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.
And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. Iโll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldnโt be more grateful for this wonderful career.

Hot-headed. Stubborn. Absolutely no impulse control.
Thatโs who I am, according to my brothers and business partners. We run one of the top companies in the country, and weโre growing fast. When I start interviewing for a key position, my brothers firmly advise me against hiring Kinley.
Of course, I hire her anyway, and not just because sheโs insanely gorgeous.
Sheโs hard-working, ambitious, and a perfect match. Unfortunately, she comes with baggage. Her ex framed her in an infamous corporate scandal. She was cleared in the court, yet the media was unforgiving.
But Kinley isnโt the woman the headlines painted.
Sheโs not conniving. Sheโs smart.
Sheโs not cold. Sheโs careful.
And sheโs not distant. She just wonโt allow anyone to get too close.
But thatโs all I want.
Despite my intention to stay away from her, I canโt stop fantasizing about kissing her senseless and worshipping her body. Then, when we fly to Napa together to scout a new business, all my good intentions go up in smoke. Spending hours on end with her during the day is too much of a temptation. Sharing the same cabin at night is torture.
Iโm tired of pretending I donโt want her in my bed, and my life. More than that, I want to protect her from everyone who hurt her. Iโll fight like hell not only to make her mine, but to earn her trust. Because once I have Kinley, I intend to keep her forever.
I grew up on Wildhaven Storm Ranch, raised on hard work, determination, and tradition. Now Iโm fresh out of college and chasing a dream that feels just out of reachโworking at the historic Belicourt Resort Hotel while trying to convince my oldest sister, Matty, to let me turn part of our family land into a guest ranch and spa.
The Belicourt has a long-standing reputation for being hauntedโfull of whispered legends, unexplained sightings, and guests who swear theyโre not alone in its halls. I think itโs charming. Mysterious. Marketable. My new boss, Porter Garrison, doesnโt agree. Heโs all rules, rigid schedules, and closed doors, and heโd much rather I stick to spreadsheets than old legends and small-town folklore.
But I see potential in the pastโin the stories people tell. And behind his cool, controlled exterior and expensive suit, I see the man beneathโthe cowboy full of fire and buried passion heโs trying desperately to hide.
Maybe the hotel isnโt the only thing haunted. Maybe some dreams are worth fighting family for. And maybe, after the storm, we both need something to believe inโespecially each other.

Our late-night talks give me a glimpse into every struggle heโs overcome to get here, and just as he thought his dream was crashing to an end, I show up and buy him an extra inning.
When lines start to blur and quiet moments turn into temptations too hot to ignore, the careful balance of our situation starts to feel shaky. My heart was broken not long ago. And Brooks has kept his on ice for years.

Everything Iโve spent my life building is suddenly at risk.
I loved Ariana Ridley long before the world knew my name. Before the NHL. Before the pressure of being one of the youngest coaches in the league. Before I learned how to survive by locking my heart down tight.
Leaving her was the hardest thing Iโve ever done โ and the one choice I never made peace with.
Now sheโs back. And she belongs to another man.
My new General Manager.
I tell myself I can handle it. Discipline is my job. Control is my strength. I know how to keep my distance โ how to respect the lines that should never be crossed.
But every glance drags the past to the surface. Every quiet moment reminds me the love I buried never died.
I see the cracks she tries to hide, the fear sheโs learned to live with, and the way she still looks at me like Iโm the one place she can breathe.
I want to protect her. I want to fight for her. And I want things I have no right to want.
Because if I cross that line, I donโt just risk my career โ I risk shattering the woman I never stopped loving.
Some choices haunt us forever. Some loves never let go.
And trying to right my wrongs might just ruin us both.
