For some reason the dangerously sexy Falls Lodge owner has decided to personally play a part in her metamorphosis.

As her past comes calling, she realizes that with Ted it’s not just her heart that’s at risk … it’s her life.

Gentle, sweet, and shy, she’s Ted’s opposite in every way. There shouldn’t be any surprises in life, not for a man as jaded as he. But when he leaves her bed after their first night together, everything changes. What he feels for her has the power to change the very foundation he’s built his life on, and that shocks him to the core. When danger looms and threatens Mandy, he knows that staying away for her protection is no longer an option. Their love has only just begun and he’ll fight with everything he has for her, no matter the cost.
