A man ruined me once. I won't allow it to happen again.

There's a reason I decided to move all the way to Breckenridge, Montana, and it's not because it's been on my bucket list.

Neither is driving across the country in the dead of winter for that matter. Or having my car give up on me. Or getting frostbite as I trudge up a mountain in heels.

But all of the above happens.

And guess who saves the day.

Jaxson.

Former special forces. Single father of one. Professional background checker.

I'm sure he means well--and I definitely need that generator he promised me to make my brand-new cabin livable--but that's all this is.

He's just a friendly acquaintance. A polite neighbor. A nice man on the street.

I'm not supposed to get close to him. I'm not supposed to meet his daughter. And I'm certainly not supposed to share with him anything about my recent past.

What's buried there needs to stay buried.

And I'll bury my feelings for Jaxson right next to it if I have to.

Expose: Jaxson is book one of the Eagle Tactical series. Jaxson and Ariella's small town romance ends with a HFN (happily for now) and a guaranteed series HEA (happily ever after).
