Three of them, one of her, and a remote cabin in the woods. Let the hot, winter nights ensue…
Tiernan de Haas doesn’t care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she’s grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. Shipped off to boarding schools from an early age, it was still impossible to escape the loneliness and carve out a life of her own. The shadow of her parents’ fame followed her everywhere.
And when they suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really changed? She’s always been alone, hasn’t she?
Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of eighteen. Sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado, Tiernan soon learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore.
As the three of them take her under their wing, teach her to work and survive in the remote woods far away from the rest of the world, she slowly finds her place among them.
And as a part of them.
She also realizes that lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.
One of them has her.
The other one wants her.
But he…
He’s going to keep her.
Review : I really enjoyed this book it was a fun read this is about Tiernan who’s parents committed suicide . Her parents were famous but they also didn’t care a lot about her so she goes to stay with her step uncle and cousins . She’s hurt by her parents not caring enough to write her a note or something and then things start happening with all the guys. Tiernan looses her virginity to Jake and then when he went fishing she has sex with Noah and Kaleb . Kaleb is mute and kinda intense and she ends up falling for Kaleb . He goes up to the fishing cabin for awhile and her and Noah go and get him . There was a fire awhile back and the guy who started it came back to mostly blackmail her what a nut job. Tiernan ends up leaving and going back to LA and Noah shows up there he got a sponsorship to do racing . Jake and Kaleb also show up . Kaleb ends up speaking to her he practiced for six weeks I loved this book the ending was super cute with them five years later having a baby .

Do these men ever get completely dressed? Women survive with the heat and sweat all the time without discarding our clothing
This is why I’m better alone. I don’t have to feel all these things all the time. Embarrassment, shame, guilt… If you don’t put yourself out there, you don’t hurt.
Everyone contemplates suicide at some point, even if it’s just for a minute. And one thing is usually the root cause. Loneliness.
His light chuckle carries as I quickly disappear from his sight. Asshole. But then I stop, noticing. He laughed. Out loud. It wasn’t much, but I heard his deep voice. He’s growled or grunted a few times, but he let me hear him laugh
Let’s not be friends. Let’s fight and laugh and make babies someday and go insane, because I’m fucking in love with you.
Oh, the irony. Six months ago, I ran from a life of people who wouldn’t talk to me and ended up falling for a guy who may never say a word to me.
I can’t believe you’re here,” I tell him just above a whisper. “You actually left Colorado.” “It was time,” he says.
“I love you,” I tell him. He touches his nose to mine. “I love you, too.”
