She has a plan for everyone’s care. None of her plans involve falling for the pilot recovering in her spare room.

Noa Navarro runs Vesper Harbor’s omega clinic with steady hands and carefully maintained boundaries. Her own heats are private. Her own needs can wait.

Then a winter storm brings down Arlo Sandoval’s survey plane, leaving him with a shattered ankle and nowhere to go but her cottage.

Arlo has spent two winters finding reasons to return to Vesper Harbor. Living with Noa makes those reasons impossible to hide. So does the attraction she has been recording in her own charts without admitting what it means.

With a storm outside and their careful distance disappearing inside, caring for each other becomes something neither can dismiss as practical.

But Arlo has an offer waiting in Alaska. Noa needs more than a man who comes back each winter. She needs someone willing to stay.

A slow-burn MF omegaverse romance with a female omega and male alpha, friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, mutual hurt/comfort, explicit adult intimacy, and a complete HEA. This is a one-couple romance. Book 3 of Vesper Harbor; the town storyline continues in publication order.
