Extra Close

A Man Obsessed #7

by Kate Hunt

For glaciologist Dove Callahan, Antarctica is the one thing he truly understands.
He also understands that it makes no sense for a wildlife photographer to endanger herself for the perfect shot.
But when Ellie Sheridan defies evacuation orders before a storm, Dove has no choice but to go after her.
Now they're trapped together in a shelter built for one, a blizzard forcing them into a proximity neither of them wanted.
The more they talk—and the more they rely on each other's body heat—the more his irritation with her transforms into something far more dangerous.
She’s incredible, this woman. She’s smart, witty, and breathtakingly gorgeous…with curves that push him over the edge.
Hours later, when the storm finally passes, Dove emerges from their shelter a man obsessed.
He wants it all with Ellie—to build a life with her, to make babies with her, to grow old together.
If only she wasn’t about to leave the continent forever.

Hey lovely,
The temperature outside is below freezing, and a couple who can’t stand each other are about to get extra close...and extra hot. If you love enemies-to-lovers in forced proximity, curvy heroines, big brooding heroes with hidden depths, and true love blooming in isolated places, this one will warm your heart. Happily ever after guaranteed.
xo,
Kate

An icy start warms hearts

This was such a great story. I loved the dynamic between Dove and Ellie. Dove may have started out as a man studying glaciers and handing out grumpiness like the prize in a cereal box, but after getting stuck with Ellie in a blizzard, the only prizes he's handing out are orgasms. Ellie's unique personality and talent win him over and they get the sweetest happily ever after. So good, I'd recommend everyone read it.

The cutest

I loved it. I love these short stories so much. This one was short but it flowed nicely. Their love story evolved quickly but I didn’t feel like it missed anything. Their loved endured long distance until he couldn’t take it anymore and he went to her. So beautiful
