Hideaway Valley Holiday New Year

He's a stern bodyguard who never cracks a smile, and she's the woman he can't forget after one night together. When he returns months later, vowing to stay forever, will she dare to trust him with her heart?BrianaI came to Hideaway Mountain for a fresh start. After growing up on a reservation and watching my father slowly kill himself with alcohol, I was desperate to leave South Dakota once he passed. It's a bit ironic that I now work as a bartender at the Hideaway Inn, but I've quickly come to love my job and the charming little town I now call home. Romance was the last thing on my mind when I met Beau Weston-a big, broody bodyguard only in town for the night. We had a great time together before he returned to California, and though I haven't been able to stop thinking about him, I never expected to see him again. But now he's back in town for New Year's Eve, calling me his girl. As much as I want to believe it, can I really trust him not to leave me again?BeauI met Briana Blackfeather on one of the worst nights of my life, after a fire nearly killed the woman I'd been hired to protect. As a bartender, Bri is an expert at providing a sympathetic ear to people having a bad day, but the type of comfort she decided I needed had nothing to do with a strong drink and a friendly chat. I was hesitant to go the morning after, but my beautiful new obsession seemed determined to label us as nothing more than a one-night stand. So, I left, knowing without a doubt I'd return to Hideaway Mountain as soon as possible to claim Bri's heart, just as she had claimed mine. But when I arrive back in town, convincing her we're meant to be proves more difficult that I imagined. I'm not giving up though-I left Bri once, and I never make the same mistake twice.Welcome to the holidays in Hideaway Valley-where the festivities bring alpha men together with independent women, and age is nothing but a number.This is book three in the Hideaway Valley Holiday One-Hour Read series, featuring insta-love in a small mountain town.
