She’s saving the family ski hill. He’s saving lives. Neither planned on saving each other.At forty-six, Ashley Cooke isn’t looking for romance, she’s looking for a miracle. Her family’s Montana ski resort is one bad season away from closing, and desperate times call for desperate measures. Hiring a crew from the local sober living home wasn’t part of her plan, but neither was their six-foot tall, bearded and tattooed administrator.Matthew Madigan knows about starting over. As a former rockstar and recovering addict, he runs his sober living home to give other men the second chance he once needed. Working alongside Ashley to keep her small-town ski hill alive stirs up feelings he thought he’d buried for good.Between snowstorms, chairlift mishaps, and the kind of slow-burn chemistry that makes a Montana winter melt, Ashley and Madigan discover that second chances aren’t just for the mountain. Sometimes they’re for the heart, too.Come As You Are is the first book in the Bluebird Basin series, a heartwarming, small-town romance perfect for fans of Virgin River, over-40 love stories, and series filled with friendship, family, and the kind of community you’ll never want to leave.Content notes: Addiction, divorce, mourning the loss of a parent
