Sheโs the quiet, small town girl who gets along with everyone. Except him.
Heโs the new guy in town whoโs determined to turn her world upside down.
All Chloe Donovan ever wanted was to teach kindergarten and live a simple life in Sweetbriar Ridge. Until she decides she wants more in her life. Like maybe a good man to share her quiet life. But when she meets Tanner Westyn, Sweetbriar Ridgeโs biggest ego-maniac and newest kindergarten teacher, she canโt help but feel unsettled with all the new changes happening around her town. Especially the unexpected feelings Tanner sparks in her.
A former champion Alpine skier, Tanner loves competing in all aspects of his life. But with his skiing career behind him, heโs ready to tackle the next phase of his lifeโteaching. When he lands in Sweetbriar Ridge, a town with a brand-new ski resort, he looks forward to quiet days on the slopes. The one thing he didnโt anticipate is how much his competitive nature would rub his new neighbors and colleaguesโespecially Chloeโthe wrong way. What started as a schoolroom challenge with Chloe quickly snowballed into something else outside the school walls.
Everything about Tanner annoyed, frustrated, and intrigued Chloe. But when their heated banter evolves into looks of longing and a connection that canโt be denied, she starts to question if they could even have a future together. But if Tanner doesnโt want to lose Chloe, he will have to accept that coming in second place means more when the person you love takes the win.
