Taking a week off from her internship at the Denver Art Museum, twenty-two-year-old Brooklyn Foster is headed up to her family’s private cabin near Vail, Colorado for a little rest and relaxation. Unfortunately, she isn’t aware that her brother-in-law, an all-pro defensive lineman, has already offered the use of the cabin to his friend and former teammate, Ryan Landry, the drop-dead gorgeous NFL superstar she’s had a not-so-secret crush on since she was a teenager. As luck would have it, he is also the same man who rebuffed her youthful advances four years earlier, after she ineptly attempted to seduce him in one of the most humiliating moments of her life, and much to her dismay, the same man who can still start her heart racing with only a smile.
Temporarily sidelined from his position as one of the most-celebrated wide receivers in the NFL due to a mild concussion, Ryan Landry eagerly accepted his close friend Wade Calloway’s offer to rest and recuperate at his cabin in the Rocky Mountains, unaware that he wouldn’t be the only one making use of the luxurious retreat. But when Wade’s sister-in-law, the lovely Brooklyn Foster arrives unexpectedly, he can’t deny that spending the next week with the tempting young beauty holds a great deal more appeal than it should. And all too soon, and despite the warning bells ringing in his head, Ryan realizes that keeping his hands off of his temporary roommate isn’t going to be easy, for it is glaringly apparent that Brooklyn in no longer the off-limits, precocious teenager she once was.
Locked away from the outside world by a fierce winter blizzard, their passion for one another can no longer be denied and soon eclipses even the furious storm raging outside, leaving them both wondering what the future holds once they leave their perfect mountain hideaway.
Please note: This is a novella and considerably shorter than a standard-length novel.

Chapter 1
It was coming down harder now, and the sweeping wiper blades
were struggling with increasing difficulty to keep the heavy crystal flakes
from staking a permanent hold on the icy windshield. Darn ,
if she’d just been able to leave an hour earlier as she’d planned, she might
have gotten ahead of the early November snowstorm, but such was life. It wasn’t as though her best friend Julia had
intentionally broken up with her boyfriend, for the third time no less, right
before Brooklyn was about to leave for her sister’s mountain cabin near
Vail.
The unanticipated detour to Julia’s apartment and the
ensuing hour long tête-à-tête, had been the cause of the delay, but at least
she’d managed to calm Julia down by the time she’d left Denver. Nonetheless, she’d give her a call once she reached
the cabin, if she ever reached the cabin ,
to make sure she hadn’t reverted back to her prior histrionics. Julia had always had a penchant for the
melodramatic, but Brooklyn didn’t really mind. In fact, she couldn’t have asked for a better friend. She and Julia’s personalities had always
complimented each other perfectly, and since meeting twelve years earlier in
Mrs. Decker’s fifth grade class, they had been nearly inseparable.

seats, she grabbed her cell phone and checked to see
