Forty-three and broken.

A stranger’s baby ultrasound tucked into her husband’s gym bag ends Megan’s fifteen-year marriage overnight. Broken-hearted and with a freshly drained bank account, she accepts her best friend Charlotte’s offer of the keys to her ski chalet, deep in the heart of the Sugar Peaks mountain range.
Charlotte has a secret she needs Megan to help keep. To protect her best friend, Megan agrees to dust herself off, shower, and pretend to be a real estate developer.
Josh has sawdust on his jacket, callouses on his hands, and dog fur all over the inside of his Tacoma. At thirty-four, this local “Rapidian” has been the fun blue-collar escape for enough rich ski bunnies to have learned his lesson. Falling for another one, especially one who is clearly out of her element and can’t even interpret architectural drawings, wasn’t going to happen.
But as Megan works tirelessly to pull the project together, he hates that he loves the crinkles at the corners of her eyes when she smiles, and double hates the way she looks stepping onto the job site in her construction boots.
In Chance Rapids, gossiping at the G-Spot diner is a full-time hobby. When the truth comes out, will Megan lose the man, and the small town with one traffic light, that she’s falling for?
