Rate this book
Overwhelmed trying to hold onto her dead husband’s ranch, a lonely widow turns to the one man she can’t have for a night of passion.

Jessie McAdams has been fighting to hang on to the ranch her husband loved, but ultimately killed him, just as it's slowly killing her, body and soul, not to mention financially. She also harbors a secret passion for his best friend, one she knows she can never act upon. Until one day a freak spring snow storm traps them both in a line cabin. Knowing she is about to lose everything, should she take a chance for one night of happiness before it all slips away?

Slade Donovan has harbored a secret love for Jessie since the day his best friend brought her home from college, but the friendship code dictated that he stay away. Even after his friend died, he couldn't make a move, though he was there for her as best he could. But his resolve is tested when Jessie approaches him in a cabin for one night of passion.

But when he finds out she plans to leave Granite Junction forever, will he finally step up and declare his love or let her go forever?
