Katherine "Kate" Upton is an American model and actress, known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue first in 2011, when she was named Rookie of the Year, and again in 2012, when she was announced as the cover model.
After a devastating loss and a failed marriage at twenty-seven, Ivy has spent the last year making less than ideal decisions. If less than ideal is code for bad. When her latest stunt causes a sizable scene, her father issues her an ultimatum: prove she can run his new business venture, The Edgemont Ski Resort and Lodge or lose her coveted seat on the board at Rutherford Industries. It should have been a simple task, but when a chance encounter with a charming stranger takes her by surprise, it sets her on a slippery slope that she never saw coming. Alder Holloway leads rescue missions for a living—his newest mission however, wants nothing to do with him. Magnetic and charismatic, Alder has never shied away from the spotlight. Recovering from a traumatic loss, Alder has spent the last decade of his life running the resort his cabin is built on, as well as becoming an experienced and skilled Alpine Search and Rescue Pilot. At thirty-six, he’s content to live his life with a high risk career, low risk personal life—until fate intervenes in the way of a snowstorm. Enter Ivy Rutherford, the new and unexpected manager strutting around his resort. Ivy is as irritatingly beautiful as she is brilliant. She’s also determined to keep Alder at arms length, unaware that despite her attempt to keep things between them temporary, she’s already become a non negotiable in his life.
