Sweet Refuge (Matched on the Mountain #5)

When Naomi finds a frozen stranger collapsed on her doorstep during a Christmas blizzard, saving his life awakens desires she thought were lost forever.

Fleeing a painful divorce and the ashes of her old dreams, Naomi has found sanctuary in a remote mountain house where she can heal in solitude. But when she drags the half-dead Cillian MacDermott inside and uses her own body heat to save him, their primal connection ignites into something neither can resist.

Dying brought him to her door. Living means risking his heart.

Haunted by a decade of guilt and grief, Cillian has sworn off intimacy—until Naomi breaks through his walls with her fierce independence and tender touch. As the storm rages outside, they discover that sometimes the greatest refuge isn't a place, but a person who sees your broken pieces and loves you anyway.

But when morning comes and old ghosts demand answers, can their fragile new bond survive the dangerous journey ahead—or will they discover that some miracles are worth risking everything for?

A steamy holiday romance featuring a virgin hero, second-chance-at-life themes, scorching intimacy before the fire, survival situations that test the heart, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
