Snowbound with a sexy stranger…will sharing his bed destroy her plans or lead to forever?

Still, being stranded with the reclusive scientist provides the perfect opportunity to convince him to work for her family's company. Yet once the snow melts and the truth is revealed, Naomi could be dealing with double the trouble…
