A Cozy Romantic Comedy
Publishing Early 2025 with Conquest Publishing
Professional snowboarding superstar Juniper Hart was forced into retirement after a devastating accident on the slopes left him with a permanent injury. With his service dog Sasquatch, he now runs an old ski lodge on the top of a mountain and, even though Juniper would rather die than admit it, needs help bringing it back to life.
Burned-out corporate ladder climber Rachel Friedman doesn’t get the raise she needs to afford her rising rent costs, so she trades in Florida summers for Colorado winters when she sees a job listing (with much better pay) for a live-in resort manager.
With his trust issues, Juniper is too cool for Rachel. She’ll need to establish dominance over the tabloids to earn his trust and thaw his icy heart so they can work together – and perhaps become more than coworkers along the way – to save the lodge.
