Laura Pavlov After the Storm

He's a grumpy single dad. She's the one who got away. They haven't seen one another in years, and now they're stuck in a hotel room together. And there's only one bed. I've loved her from the first moment I saw her. And I've loved her every day since. Whether we're together or we're apart-that hasn't changed. Which is saying a lot considering I don't like most people. But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways. Life, family, jealousy-we let it all get in the way. I'm a dad now, and my little girl is my world. And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove. I don't believe in fairytales or second chances. My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications. Presley Duncan is a giant complication. A wise man would keep his distance. But I never claimed to be a wise man. So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm. Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed. Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances. And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me. Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone. But I know this is temporary. She'll be leaving soon, and I'm prepared to let her go. Until she's gone. And I realize that I'm not prepared at all for life after the storm. **This is book 5 in the Cottonwood Cove Series.
