No one knows my secret. Ever since high school, ever since I started living in fear, no one has known the true me. But then I met him, and I couldn’t hide anymore.
He became my hero, saving me from the villain of my past. He became my friend, his smile a blanket of warmth. And he scared me. Because he, this beautiful man, he might become more. Then he’d see the real me, and I couldn’t let that happen.
My name is Winter, and what I desire most I can’t have.
Flashes of the night I was drugged rush back to me. His strong arms carrying me through the streets of Paris. The feel of his heart beating as my head rested against his chest. The soft press of his lips against my forehead when he thought I was asleep.
Oh shit. I’m falling for the cowboy. Cade.
But we can’t be anything more. He has his own secrets. His own darkness he keeps hidden, like the letter he keeps with him everywhere he goes.
The letter he refuses to open.

Reviewer’s Thoughts
I really enjoyed this book. Β Mostly because Winter and Cade got to do the one thing I wanted to do when I graduated from high school, go to the Sorbonne.
Cade was a big, tough cowboy who was really damaged by the way his family handled he and his brothers. Β His father was determined to force his son to take up the reigns of the family business, despite what Cade wanted to do himself. Β Cade fled to Paris hoping he’d be able to focus on his passion, architecture, and find a way to live his life the way he wants without being cut off from his family.
Winter wanted to be a romance writer, but she’d never been in a relationship where she could draw from her personal experiences to make her characters more real. Β But when she meets Cade, she starts to discover all the things she was missing by living for her writing and nothing else.
I didn’t really like Winter’s best friend, because she was a bit of a loose cannon and I felt like she sometimes used Winter to get what she wanted, but Cade was always there to look out for Winter and make sure she was safe and happy.
I look forward to more in this series.
