Nothing about Taryn Holt’s work trip is going according to plan.
When a storm reroutes her through Atlanta, she expects to power through the inconvenience the way she handles everything else—efficiently, quietly, and preferably alone. What she doesn’t expect is Lance Mercer, the tall, dark, handsome… and *opinionated* non profit director who seems determined to challenge her at every turn.
A grounded flight traps them in the same city…and a lodging mixup strands them with only one bed. What began as one one bad night becomes two days of a tenuous truce, a simmering heat, and a pull neither wants to name.
Why does a stranger feel like someone they’ve known forever? And why doesn’t either of them want the layover to end?
