He's a grumpy single dad. She's the one who got away. They haven't seen one another in years, and now they're stuck in a hotel room together. And there's only one bed. I've loved her from the first moment I saw her.And I've loved her every day since.Whether we're together or we're apart-that hasn't changed.Which is saying a lot considering I don't like most people. But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.Life, family, jealousy-we let it all get in the way.I'm a dad now, and my little girl is my world.And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove.I don't believe in fairytales or second chances.My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.Presley Duncan is a giant complication. A wise man would keep his distance.But I never claimed to be a wise man.So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances. And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.But I know this is temporary.She'll be leaving soon, and I'm prepared to let her go.Until she's gone.And I realize that I'm not prepared at all for life after the storm.**This is book 5 in the Cottonwood Cove Series.
