Synopsis:
Tiernan de Haas has always lived on the fringes—neglected by her famous parents and left to raise herself in silence and solitude. When they suddenly die, she finds herself sent to live with her estranged step-uncle and his two sons in the remote mountains of Colorado. Cut off from civilization, she enters a world of wild beauty, primal instincts, and raw desire. Jake, the brooding guardian, and his two sons—enigmatic, intense Kaleb and charming, provocative Noah—introduce Tiernan to a way of living and feeling she’s never known. In the isolated, snowbound cabin, desire simmers and boundaries blur. As Tiernan grapples with her grief, identity, and the complicated men around her, she’s forced to face uncomfortable truths—and ultimately decide what kind of life she wants to live and who she wants to be.
