Beneath the Ice: an Age Gap Erotic Romance

He was her father’s best friend. Twice her age. And the last man she should fall for.When Eden Jacobson turns twenty-four, she finally sets out to fulfill the dream she’s carried for as long as she can remember: a trip to the Alaskan wilderness. But when the man offering to take her isn’t a guide—but Max Auberry, her late father’s best friend and the brooding mountain man who helped raise her—the trip quickly becomes something else entirely.Max is forty-five. Rugged, solitary, and used to surviving on instinct. But nothing could prepare him for the storm Eden brings into his life—the kind that doesn’t howl from the sky, but burns slow and deep beneath the skin. She’s no longer the bright-eyed girl he remembers. She’s a fiercely intelligent, breathtaking woman who’s everything he’s spent his life believing he’d never deserve.When an unexpected blizzard traps them in his remote cabin, what begins as gentle teasing and shared memories turns into something neither of them can ignore: desire, thick with tension and tangled in guilt. As Eden begins to see the man behind the silence, and Max wrestles with the line between protector and partner, the cold outside becomes the least dangerous thing between them.And when passion finally erupts, it’s not just a fire—it’s everything Max thought he’d lost, and everything Eden’s been searching for.A slow-burn, age-gap, snowbound romance about love that waits, desire that refuses to be denied, and two souls who find their home in each other.
