Some people meet cute. Theirs was court-ordered. Ryder Vorhees was born to ride. He never expected to stopâthen tragedy struck. A freak accident stole his brother, his will to compete, and any reason to step back on a snowboard. Now heâs stuck serving community service hours at the last place he wants to the mountain that haunts him. The only thing worse? The man in charge of babysitting him. Hayden Chaulke lives for helping people rediscover what theyâve lost. Running a fledgling adaptive sports program is supposed to be his dream jobâuntil his newest âinstructorâ shows up hungover, bitter, and infuriatingly gorgeous. Hayden doesnât do lost causes⌠but Ryder isnât just anyone. Forced to work together on the slopes, sparks fly between the surly exâpro and the rule-following manager. What starts as hostility turns into something neither expectedâan attraction that feels as dangerous as it is undeniable. But Ryderâs ghosts are never far behind, and learning to let go might mean facing the one thing heâs fought hardest to forgiveness. Because some mountains arenât meant to be conqueredâtheyâre meant to heal you.
