Blake
I don’t do relationships, but I’m excellent at casual hookups. That’s not to say I’m a jerk. Not at all. I respect women—all women—and I know the value of love. But I’m married to my job as a physician. In fact, I’m married to the hospital, having a full–time affair with the clinic, and my family is my side piece. I don’t have time for a relationship with a woman. But then the most beautiful human I’ve ever laid eyes on walks onto my plane, and my world tilts. Thanks to a Montana snowstorm, I spend one incredible night with Harper, but wake up alone. She never told me her last name. She’s just . . . gone. It would figure that the one woman I could see myself breaking my own rules for is the one I can’t have.
Harper
It’s time for me to come home to Montana to help take care of my dad and pick up the slack for my siblings. I’ve been gone for a long time, but this beautiful corner of the world is my home. I’m excited to start my job as a NICU nurse at Bitterroot Valley General and begin a new chapter in my life. A fresh start. A clean slate. Then he walks into the room, and it’s suddenly hard to breathe. Blake was the one–night stand who still haunts my dreams. The man can do things. Amazing things. But I never thought I’d see him again. Okay, that’s a lie. I knew he worked at this hospital, but he’s an ER doctor. I’m in a different department, so I planned to avoid him. Yet that didn’t last more than the first hour of my first shift. Now, he’s pursuing me and saying things like forever. But with a past like mine, can I trust that he won’t tire of me and leave? Or is this finally my happily ever after?feeling like I’m the most important woman in his world. But being with a high-profile billionaire comes with a price. Can we withstand the storm headed our way, or are we destined to fall apart like delicate blooms in the wind?
This is the fourth book in the series, but each installment works perfectly as a standalone. If you haven’t started the series yet, this is a great place to jump in—it may even be my favorite so far.
Blake and Harper meet on a flight and share one unforgettable night together, only for Harper to ghost him the next morning. When Harper later moves to Bitterroot Valley to help her adoptive father and family, she ends up working as a NICU nurse in the same hospital where Blake is an ER doctor. Blake is stunned to see the woman he’s never been able to forget. Despite his long-standing habit of avoiding relationships, Blake falls fast and hard—and with Harper, he’s all in, determined to win her heart.
Their chemistry is undeniable, and their connection is genuinely beautiful, even as their demanding careers keep them busy. Harper is still carrying emotional baggage from a past relationship, but Blake meets her with patience, steadiness, and unwavering support. She tries to push him away, yet he remains grounded and present for her every step of the way.
I also found it utterly believable that Blake’s family embraces Harper so quickly. If Blake loves her, they love her too—It really can be that simple, and that complicated. Families can be like that; I’ve seen it myself.
The heat between Blake and Harper definitely sizzles, so if you prefer low‑spice romances, you may want to skim those scenes—or skip ahead in the audio. But the story is absolutely worth it. The narrators are fantastic, bringing these characters to life in such a vivid way, and I loved watching their relationship unfold. Another wonderful read from one of my favorite authors.
