He'll win her heart one mixtape at a time.

Ashley Cooke will do just about anything to save her struggling ski hill. When she hires the men from a local sober living home for the season to cut costs, even she thinks she's gone too far. With her credit cards maxed, her cheating ex-husband intent on buying the mountain out from under her, and record-breaking snow in the forecast, she can't afford to be distracted by the six-foot-tall bearded and tattooed sober living home owner moving onto her mountain.

Recovering addict and ex-grunge rocker Matthew Madigan has devoted every minute of the last decade to the men residing at his sober living home. When he meets tightly wound and adorably flustered Ashley, desires he's put on the back burner for years start to simmer. Immune to his infamous albeit rusty charm, Ashley presents a challenge he can't resist. When she offers to give him skiing lessons in exchange for his help training her St. Bernard rescue dog, he jumps at the chance to ride next to her on the chairlift despite his debilitating fear of heights.

During bunny hill shenanigans, chairlift confessions, and steamy cabin serenades, Madigan teaches Ashley that a person's past doesn't define them, and Ashley shows Madigan that the men he helps aren't the only people who deserve a second chance. When sabotage threatens both the men and the mountain, Ashley and Madigan will have to decide if they're only having a winter fling, or if the mountain isn't the only thing worth fighting for.

Perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn and Lyssa Kay Adams, Come As You Are is a steamy, later-in-life, small-town, redemption romance with lots of heat and even more heart!

Reviews for Come As You Are: A Gen X Romance

"""...the older protagonists are refreshing-and their sex scenes are hot as hell. This is a winner."" - Publishers Weekly ""Cozy & sexy. This was a win."" -Kate Clayborn, Author of Georgie, All Along ""A charming and heartfelt romance."" -Alicia Thompson, Author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers ""This book was AMAZING! So cool to read a steamy romance between characters in their 40s and 50s!"" -Sarah Smith, Author of Faker and Simmer Down ""COME AS YOU ARE isn't a holiday novel exactly... Instead it's a hot cider, snow, slobbery rescue dog, fireplaces, cabins with rocking chairs, and mix tapes novel that's even better."" -Maria Vale, author of the Legend of All Wolves series ""I loved this-loved the ski resort setting, LOVED the men of Little Timber, a sober living/rehabilitation center for recovering addicts & ex-cons, whose storylines were so compelling & told with compassion. Older MCs, both with baggage, in a very sweet & steamy romance with a very good dog."" -Anita Kelly, author of Love & Other Disasters and Something Wild & Wonderful"
