Jacob Kincaid comes back to Cedar Ridge, Colorado after a military mission abroad ends badly. The Army Special Forces officer wants nothing more than peace at his lakeside cabin and time alone to heal from whatever went wrong overseas. Instead he finds Sophie Marren living on a boat tied to his dock. Sophie has run out of money and options. She gets seasick on the water but has nowhere else to stay. She also can't ignore her attraction to Jacob, despite his dark moods and obvious desire for solitude. Jacob's brooding intensity only makes Sophie want to push his buttons and see what lies beneath his careful control. Neither wants to compromise or leave. Sophie needs the dock and Jacob needs his retreat. But as they clash over the same small space, they start to realize they might need each other more than either expected.
