     Never venture out of bounds without a buddy—preferably two. Dara’s past four incredible years have been lived to the fullest. Along with her best friends, Kane and Jack, she’s left no local wilderness unexplored, no ski slope unchallenged. Yet lately she wonders why they’ve never seen her as more than a buddy with breasts. When—or if—either man will cross that unspoken line. It’s a line Kane eyes harder every day. Since high school, he and Jack have shared everything. A condo, vacations—and their best girl. Kane’s ready to get serious about his wilderness school and outfitter business, and that includes putting down roots. Preferably with Dara.

Question is, who does she prefer…and who’s going to bring their easygoing trio to an end? Overhearing the boys arguing over her, Dara’s floored—and torn. Choose between them? No way.
