She's always been the girl with the plan . . . until the plan crashed big timeKendall Walsh has exactly one second to save a fancy, five-tiered wedding cake and any possibility of being a wedding planner-not to mention her family's struggling ski resort. All because of one very cute, very furry, golden menace of a retriever who has a serious thing for butter chiffon icing. Which is exactly when Olympic skier Brody James shows up and saves the day . . . and the cake.Brody makes Kendall feel about a million indecipherable things. He's her brother's bestie. Her first crush. And a ridiculously popular Olympic hero, which only reminds her of her own failed Olympic dreams. What Brody isn't telling her is that he's walked away from it all. The fame. The sponsorships. The celebrity girlfriend. Now he and Kendall are both lost somewhere between their past and a future they can't yet see. But four weddings, one mischievous puppy, and a few steamy kisses later, these two might just realize that they are both exactly where they need to be...with each other.

In this uplifting small-town romance, a rambunctious puppy gives two childhood friends a second chance at love.When her Olympic downhill dreams were crushed by an injury, Kendall Walsh retreated to Pine Hollow to help her parents run the local ski resort-and watched from a distance as her childhood best friend took the winter sports world by storm. Now nearly a decade later, Brody James has suddenly retired and returned to Pine Hollow for his sister's wedding, but he isn't the same carefree daredevil Kendall remembers (and had a secret crush on as a teen).Haunted by the recent death of his fiercest rival, and struggling to regain his footing in a life after sports, Brody finds himself trailing after Kendall at the resort as eagerly as her golden retriever puppy. Kendall had promised herself she wasn't going to bother with things like romance until she'd proven herself as the ski resort's new events coordinator, but Brody has always been her kryptonite and maybe they both need to remember how to be a little more daring...
