Writer Jayne Miller was determined to make a new life for herself and her daughter, far from the heartache she'd left behind. She arrived in a late-winter storm - only to collide with a snow-dusted stranger. Her neighbour Tyler Lewis seemed to live a solitary life on his own terms, but Jayne could see past the brooding loner to the passionate man ready to break free of his brutal past. What would it take to convince Tyler that he wasn't somebody's tarnished hero - but the love of this woman's life?
