Chloe:My holiday plans never included a funeral, or the grizzly bear in a suit scowling at me throughout the service, but here I am. Turns out the grizzly is named Aidan, and heās actually a big softie beneath his shaggy beard. A big softie with rock hard abs. Heās fun, flirty, and dangerously attractive, but weāre strictly friends. Thereās no crossing that line, although with each passing night, heās getting harder to resist. I changed my life for love once before and I wonāt do it again, no matter how much my heart wants him to make me stay.
