When Willow breaks into a stranger's remote, mountain home, she's only hoping for a temporary shelter. To steal a bite of food and tend her wounds, as she hides from those who want her dead. If it goes her way, she'll be back out the door before the house's owner ever knew she was there.
Not only does the gruff, intimidating owner find her, but Owen insists that she stays, until she's healed up, and safe. Determined to earn her keep, Willow ensures that Owen has a hot, homemade dinner each night. But soon, food isn't all that's steaming between them, as he tastes her cooking every day. And it doesn't take long for his heat to boil over, and for him to claim Willow as his, forever.
