copy link copy title and author

She’s his best friend’s sister. He’s her twelve-year-crush.

Hazel Monroe returns to Granite Ridge for two weeks to escape Boston's chaos and remember who she is beyond her thriving design business. But coming home means facing Finn Callahan—her brother's best friend and the man she's been half in love with since she was fourteen. When a blizzard strands them together at his cabin, Hazel's done playing it safe. She knows what she wants, and she's not leaving Montana without shooting her shot.

Finn Callahan has spent twelve years keeping his distance from Hazel Monroe, convinced his best friend's little sister is off-limits. But when Garrett deploys and asks Finn to look after her, proximity shatters every careful rule he's built. One kiss leads to one scorching night, and suddenly Finn's facing his worst fear—choosing between his best friend and the only woman he's ever loved. Then Garrett comes home early and catches them together, forcing all three to decide: can family survive when the rules change?

In small-town Montana, some risks are worth taking—if you're brave enough to fight for happily ever after.
