case of mistaken identity. The second time, they end up against the side
of a bar.
Third time’s a charm, right?
Jolene Hayes finds herself spending the summer in the
picturesque mountains of Idaho in order to avoid a past fling. It’s a
perfect escape, except for the one problem that keeps popping up: a sexy
backcountry pilot named Ty Harrison. Jolene tries her hardest to resist
his scruffy beard and flannel wearing ways, but eventually rationalizes
that a summer fling would just be like the rest of them—love ‘em and
leave ‘em and move on with her life.
Between these two are secrets that could tear them apart before
they even get started, though. Life changes without warning, and dealing
with the results leaves Jolene protecting her heart at all costs. Ty
knows he is everything Jolene doesn’t want, but he can’t let go of the
fiery siren.
Throw in the element of wilderness, a small town where secrets
can’t hide and the past repeatedly showing up on Jolene’s front porch,
the promise of a summer fling becomes complicated. Views: 65
