She’s desperate to belong. He wants to give her heart a home. Can they survive the rapids of a broken past and paddle to a happily ever after? Colorado. Rylee Ryan strives to prove her worth.

As she delights in the capable woodsman’s company during their romantic thrill rides, Rylee allows tiny cracks to open in her heavily guarded emotions … while anxiously anticipating the possible fallout. And though Connor would do anything to see his gorgeous girl smile, a confrontation with a naysayer leads him to make a colossal mistake. Have they shattered their chances or sparked a lasting joy?
