Aspen Ice Queen: Clean Contemporary Romance

Tristan Carter was a self-made man.  He liked the mountains and had moved from Denver to Aspen, Colorado to make his home there.  He worked for the Lodge. Summers he worked as a guide, leading hikes up into the high country. Winters, he worked on the slopes, repairing equipment and doing general maintenance at the Lodge when he wasn't on the slopes himself.  He could rub elbows with celebrities or regular folks, it made no difference to him.  What mattered was the mountain and his way of life.
