USA TODAY bestselling author Christie Ridgway returns to Blue Arrow Lake with the dazzling story of opposites attracting in the rustic mountains of California. 

As live-in tutor to a headstrong teen, Shay Walker has her hands full--and the girl's absentee father doesn't help matters, either. All Shay wants is to let loose and indulge in a birthday fling with the hottest stranger who's ever caught her eye. But her one-night stand turns out to be Jace Jennings, her student's long-distance dad...and now he's taking up residence--at his lakeside estate and in Shay's most secret fantasies. 

Jace isn't exactly a family man, but he's determined to do his best by his daughter--and the first step is forgetting how hot he is for her teacher. But close proximity and their heated connection keeps Shay at the forefront of his mind--even as it's obvious she holds her heart in check. So does Jace. Until they both realize that losing control just might mean finding forever.
