Frankie Carmichael came to Black Cedar Lodge to write a ruinous exposé. Uncovering the Hale family’s corrupt legacy was supposed to win her career back. But she didn’t count on Ridge Hale.
At six-foot-three, with storm-gray eyes and a protective streak that borders on dangerous, Ridge recognizes her the moment she walks into his lobby. When a massive blizzard traps them on the mountain, Ridge takes her phone and offers her a deal. He’ll give her the access she wants, but she has to face him at dinner every night.
What begins as a battle of wills quickly descends into a scorching, all-consuming attraction. As Frankie interviews Ridge’s fiercely loyal brothers and uncovers the tragic truth about their past, she realizes the story she came to write is a lie. But giving in to Ridge means surrendering her control, and Frankie has to decide. Is she willing to lose the story to win the man?
