He’s not made for relationships. Especially not the kind she wants…. Mason Parker doesn’t believe in love. Sure, he cares about people. His younger brother, for example. That’s why he’s bringing him all the way to an abandoned cabin in the mountains to straighten him out. But love? That’s for fairytales. And people who haven’t had the hope knocked out of them.

She won’t notice the way Mason’s muscles flex whenever he uses an axe, or the way his eyes are like flint whenever he looks at her. And he won’t notice the way she plays with her dog in the snow when she’s only wearing skimpy pajamas. Neighbors. That’s all they’ll be. What could possibly go wrong? less
