Overview

Seth’s heart is as cold and stony as the mountain he calls home. Can his old flame Aiden thaw it, or will it be the storm of the century?

It’s always five o’clock somewhere.

Aiden Doyle is the life of every party, a small-town wild card with reckless charm. But he was once just a troubled, directionless kid with a dead-end future.

Until Seth.

The older boy was everything to Aiden—a tough, steely-eyed cowboy who took Aiden under his wing. He shielded Aiden from the world and gave him a place to belong. But when a tragic accident shattered their bond, Seth retreated into the unforgiving Oregon mountains, leaving a gaping wound in Aiden’s heart that no amount of partying could heal.

Years later, a mysterious hermit saves Aiden’s life and vanishes without a word. But Aiden knows who he is—the same man who once meant everything to him. Aiden is determined to bring his lone wolf back to civilization, even if it means confronting the dark secrets Seth has buried deep inside his barbed wire heart.

Seth isn’t interested in earning the forgiveness of a town that betrayed him, but Aiden’s return forces them both to confront old wounds. As passion explodes and hidden truths unravel, the bond between them will either be reforged in fire—or broken beyond repair.
