Ryland (Ry) Harrison likes women a lot more than he likes commitment. Hes a charmer, a no-strings-attached kind of guy, hyper-competitive in a way that makes him really good at his job as a medic for the Chamonix mountain rescue team. Hes used to women finding him charming, so hes totally unprepared—and rather intrigued—to meet a woman who doesnt even give him a second look.

A rescue mission gone wrong changes everything, making him realize he has much bigger problems than whether or not a particular tattoo artist likes him or not. Suddenly, everything hes worked for is at risk, and Ry doesnt know what parts of his life hell be able to salvage. The one thing he knows for sure is that hes going to need all the help he can get from his team and his friends.

Isla Bernard has left the past behind. At least physically. Emotionally, thats something else. The image of her husband and one of her best friends getting to know each other in the biblical sense is burned into her retina and not something shes likely to ever forget. But shes put space between them, exchanged the hustle and bustle of Brussels for the quiet of Chamonix, a small town in the French Alps, and shes busy rebuilding her life. Busy being the operative word, because as the new owner of the local tattoo studio, shes working seven days a week. But its work she loves, and shes going to make the business thrive, no matter what.

She needs a man like she needs　nope, she simply doesnt need a man. Doesnt need the distraction, and doesnt need the potential heartache. Even if this particular man happens to be scalding hot, even if he makes her heart beat to a firm disco rhythm every time she lays eyes on him.

Then something happens that has her reevaluating everything she knows about him and about herself. And she realizes she has a choice to make, and the choice is not as simple as she once imagined it to be. Because if she cant trust herself, then who can she trust?
