This was meant to be the picture-perfect holiday retreat: a cozy mountain lodge, a bottomless supply of peppermint mochas, and a stack of romance novels promising to sweep me off my feet-maybe even leading to my very own Prince Charming and a Happily Ever After. Then Damien Steele waltzed in. The pompous indie bookstore owner's steely-blue stare and frosty demeanor transformed my dream retreat into an icy trap. To make matters worse, fate decided I'd been paired with him for all the romance activities. His unsurprising refusal to participate has left me stuck in a bondage-themed escape room with him-and I definitely won't be the one cuffed to the bed.

This book contains sexual content and mild elements of bondage, taking you on a wild ride where opposites attract in the most unexpected ways.
