Aspen Fair has crap luck with men. If they aren’t intimidated by her intelligence, they’re using her for their own gain. All this newbie forest scientist wants is to be loved, but fate intervenes when her latest boyfriend tricks her into a humanitarian protest, putting her in danger in the Rocky Mountain wilderness. A lightning storm isn’t the only thing coming for her, though—a brutish man with an axe may be her only option. Ambrose O’Mara has a lot going for him—a successful timber felling company, a cozy cabin in the mountains, but no woman to share his life with. He’s content with what he has until he finds a woman stranded and chained to a tree in the middle of gale-force winds and punishing thunder, looking at him like he’s her savior. There’s no doubt—she’s the one he never knew he needed. The question is, can he convince her to be his woman before the storm ends?
