A swoon-worthy romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix! A smokin’ hot single father & a heroine running from her past collide in an emotional small town romance. Alaska offers Emma the chance for a fresh start. She has less than zero need for a man, thank you very much. But she wasn’t counting on Trey Holden.He’s so hot, her defenses melt at nothing more than a smile. He’s also … melt at nothing more than a smile. He’s also a father, pilot, and lawyer all in one. Meanwhile, Emma’s life is more than a hot mess.
It’s absolutely not smart to fall for Trey. Yet, smart isn’t part of the equation when the fire between Trey and Emma burns too hot to be ignored.
The past Emma’s trying to escape follows her to Alaska. Even though Trey is everything she needs, she pushes him away just when she needs him most.
Trey isn’t a man to walk away from a challenge. He’s that kind of hero—strong, protective and willing to fight for the woman he loves.
Trey & Emma’s story is perfect for readers who love small town romance and protective heroes who fall for smart, sassy heroines.
*A full-length, standalone romance.

Second chance after an abusive marriage warms my heart. Yet again the background of Alaska where this story unravels is described in so much detail as if you were there. Intrigue with twist and turns and some humor in between makes for a great read.
Emma and Trey make a cute couple. Stilted here and there. Still a feel good overall story that should be read
love this author
This was just a fun book to read. The characters were great including the young kid.
This book was like all of J H Croix’s books—EXCELLENT! She is the best!
Great book! I lured me in from the start. It literally only took me a few days to read and I would read late into the night. I recommend this book.
Great story loved it
Loved all the Alaska series
Love this author and this series
Grabbing this deal and can’t wait to dive in!
This book brought out all the feels for me! It was sexy, steamy and a whole lot dreamy! This one had a bit of a suspenseful edge to it and a bit of lingering fear for Trey & Emma. Emma has been out of her abusive marriage for three yrs, fending off heavy breather phone calls presumably from her ex, when he appears in Alaska hell bent on reminding her whom she “belongs” to. Trey is a single dad to Stuart, a six yr old dynamo who steals every scene he’s in! Moving fast isn’t something either of them are prepared for, but Trey will fiercely protect her from her ex. Check out this book and all the rest today!
An enjoyable afternoon read. It.
Young woman moves to Alaska to escape ex husband and falls in love. Her ex
Tries to sabotage her. Too much explicite sex verged on being trashy.
Love the series which is set in Alaska!
Emma and Trey needed to find each other. Emma’s story is tragic and her ex’s abuse nearly ruins her relationship with Trey before it even begins, but Trey has had his own heartbreak and he is not prepared to let Emma push him away. Stuart is a great wingman and he and Trey together crack Emma’s resistance and together they get their HEA. This book touches on important issues and sensitively handles the outcomes. I love the way the Alaskan scenery is described, it makes me want to visit Diamond Creek. I also love the way the characters from previous story are woven into this story.
I really enjoy this author.
Loved watching Trey and Emma’s fall and the realisitc portrayal of his concern about his little boy. Emma’s baggage in the form of an abusive ex played out in a fairly predictable way.
I decided to try this series by JH Croix because I liked the Hotshot firefighters in Alaska series so much, and I didn’t like it as much. Dialog and plot development were a bit repetitive, and I sort of got bored with it. I have read a couple of books in this series, and my opinion hasn’t changed. Going back to those hotshot stories!
I absolutely love everything written by JH Croix! This book does not disappoint! Steamy and everything i love about a romance book! Sexy Alpha male and his fierce heroine!!
I love all of J.H. Croix’s books! There are two Diamond Creek series and I’m flying through all of them. Each can be read on their own but who wants to stop at just one?
You first learn about Emma in Hannah’s story (When Love Comes). She is Hannah’s sister that neither one new about until after their parents died. After reading Hannah’s story I wanted to find out about Emma’s and figure out why she got divorced. You could tell she was running from something. And boy did she ever have something to run from! I felt so bad for her because she felt like such a real person to me due to the author’s really good writing. J.H. Croix is very descriptive in her characters and the scenery around them. You feel like you are right there with them in this gorgeous little town in Alaska.
Trey is a widowed single dad and doesn’t expect love to happen. He thinks he should just focus on his kid, Stuart. Until Emma comes along that is! Their chemistry is hot, hot hot! Stuart is so cute and plays a big role in matchmaking as well as Emma’s friend Susie. I’m reading her story next!
I’m so glad Emma is able to conquer her past and have a HEA with Trey and Stuart.
