Seven Trevino is a "bad boy" single dad with a heart of gold and a body a Viking king would kill for. He's also my best friend.

A friend I wish could be more, but he refuses to even consider dating. He's convinced he's too old for me.

But I know he feels the electricity that crackles in the air every time we touch, and I don't care about our age gap. All I care about is that no one has ever made me feel as safe, understood, or desperate to get naked as Seven does.

So when we end up stranded in the woods together after his daughter pulls a Parent-Trap scheme for the ages, I'm in no hurry to find a way back to civilization. I intend to take advantage of every second of being trapped in a tiny cabin with this man.

Every moment of sharing that one bed. .

. Every moment of feeding the fire building between us.

. .

And turns out, Seven feels the same way. Soon we're christening every surface in the cabin--and the outdoor tub on the porch--and I'm positive my dreams are coming true.

But can our fledgling relationship survive in the real world? Or will Seven's determination to "protect" me shatter both our hearts?. .
