Up-and-coming TV anchor Emery Bliss can’t imagine anything more humiliating than the sex tape her ex revenge-posted online. That is, until it causes her to lose her job on top of her self-esteem. Seeking solace—and anonymity—in Silver Springs, Emery isn’t looking to get involved with another man anytime soon. But when she’s thrown back into contact with Dallas Turner, she sees something that his many detractors have missed.
Being home for the holidays and his adoptive mother’s wedding isn’t where mountain climber Dallas feels most comfortable. Thanks to his troubled childhood, he’d rather be on a rock face alone than trying to connect with people. Emery, however, makes him want to overcome his past…somehow.
Both Emery and Dallas had been planning on a quiet, solitary Christmas, but the sparks between them are lighting a fire strong enough to last—possibly forever.

Emery's ex posted a sex tape and now her life is pretty much ruined. Fired from her job she goes back to Silver Springs to figure out what next. Dallas is dealing with the horrors of his past while sticking around for his adoptive mothers wedding. He's in conflict for what's in the future of his career and managed to find a bit of distraction in Emery.
Whew there is just so much to go over with this book that I've never expected. First theres the whole problem of Emery's ex leaking the video and how its impacted her life and while she tries to take back her power and do something about it she's on a mission to get her ex to slip or something to help her case. Then there is Dallas on and off thinking about his past and the unforgiveable thing his father did that landed him in jail but even more the memory of his father even before what happened wasn't all that great. Then theres this other whole thing going on that I wasn't expecting. I loved the romance that was going on between the two, I love that chemistry they had. I loved the sweet moments when things were looking bad seeing how they helped one another. Overall great book I really enjoyed it.
