He's a grumpy single dad. She's the one who got away. They haven't seen one another in years, and now they're stuck in a hotel room together. And there's only one bed.
I've loved her from the first moment I saw her.
And I've loved her every day since.
Whether we're together or we're apart—that hasn't changed.
Which is saying a lot considering I don't like most people.
But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.
Life, family, jealousy—we let it all get in the way.
I'm a dad now, and my little girl is my world.
And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove.
I don't believe in fairytales or second chances.
My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.
Presley Duncan is a giant complication.
A wise man would keep his distance.
But I never claimed to be a wise man.
So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.
Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.
Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances.
And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.
Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.
But I know this is temporary.
She'll be leaving soon, and I'm prepared to let her go.
Until she's gone.
And I realize that I'm not prepared at all for life after the storm.
