She's best friends with the single dad cowboy's brother and has watched two friends find love with the sexy new cowboys in town. When Gray Hammond comes to Whiskey Mountain Lodge with his son, will Elise finally get her own happily-ever-after with one of the Hammond brothers? Elise Murphy tends to the grounds and animals at Whiskey Mountain Lodge—and she's just fine working with plants and animals who don't talk back. She's shy and petite, but is finding her place among the louder Whittaker family the longer she works for them. She's also incredibly lonely and tired of being on the sidelines. But she doesn't know how to break out of the mold she's lived in for so long, despite her best friend's urgings to do so. If her best friend wasn't one of the Hammond brothers, who's so full of charm and confidence, Elise might think he actually understood. Gray Hammond has visited Whiskey Mountain Lodge in the past, and with his parents off on a cruise for the holidays and his job at the family company wrapped up, he decides to take his son to the lodge for Christmas to visit his two older brothers who now live in Coral Canyon. When he gets introduced to Colton's best friend, Gray can hardly remember who he is or where he came from. What he knows is Elise is gorgeous, and her shy spirit is exactly what his more analytical mind likes. He has no job to get back to, and plenty of reasons to keep all women out of his son's life. His life too, he tells himself. But he can't help the gravitational pull to Elise, and as they get to know each other, he wonders if they could make a relationship—and a family—work. Can Elise find true love with her best friend's brother? Or will Gray's fears and worries about his son keep them on neutral ground?

Their meet-cute? He pulled her over for speeding and got an earful of the steamy audiobook she'd been listening to... Officer Gray Hoffman lives by structure and routine: morning workouts, Friday night poker games, and his monthly true-crime book club. Utter perfection once he finds a wife to share his impeccable, though predictable, life with. Sam Thornton - soon to be Sam Smith once her divorce goes through - moved out to Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, to discover who she is on her own. Without a man. Not that she wouldn't say no to a kiss or a one-night-stand, but that's as far as she'll let it go. Newly single, she's devoting all her time to her new career at Bark Sniff Wag, growing her steamy romance review blog despite the judgment she gets from others (Officer Gray, to name one), and living her best life in general. Except that every time she turns around in the tiny town there's Gray being his usual uptight, no-fun-allowed self. Well, most times. Because lately she's caught a glimpse of a different side of Gray. As their arguments begin to sound more like flirty banter, Sam starts to wonder if maybe she'd written off the so-hot-it-should-be-a-crime police officer a little too soon. But is happily ever after even a possibility? All Gray wants to do is settle down while Sam's all but sworn off ever walking down the aisle again.
