The Realist — Abbie Zanders

Clarissa Sullivan felt trapped by an unhealthy relationship and a job she hated. When she inherited a rustic mountain cabin from her crazy great-uncle, it gave her the perfect opportunity to leave the world behind and live out her dream: a life of solitude, free of commitments, entanglements, and unrealistic expectations.A life that did not include her hot, sexy, survivalist neighbor. When ex-marine Travis Maxwell caught his former best friend and his intended fiancé fooling around behind his back, he decided things had to change. He moved to a secluded cabin in the mountains in search of a simpler existence: one free of commitments, entanglements, and unrealistic expectations.One that most definitely did not include his prickly but incredibly cute little neighbor.Broken and betrayed by those close to them, both vow never to allow themselves to become vulnerable again. But that far away from civilization, it just makes sense to have each other's back…doesn't it?
