Morgan Larsen wasn’t supposed to end up at Blake Callahan’s mountain cabin. She was supposed to be hiding out twenty miles away, nursing her heartbreak after catching her husband and best friend on a viral kiss cam. But when her car gets stranded in a sudden snowstorm, she stumbles to the only shelter she can find—one with a brooding, broad-shouldered owner who clearly doesn’t want her there.
Blake Callahan has spent three years in isolation for reasons he refuses to share. He fixes problems with his hands, not his words, and the last thing he needs is a tearful stranger disrupting his hard-won solitude—especially two days before Christmas. His plan is simple: repair his snowmobile and send her on her way. But when the storm intensifies and a fallen tree destroys the only bridge out, Morgan and Blake are trapped together with nowhere to run.
As the power fails and the snow piles high, Morgan discovers that Blake’s gruff silence hides a wounded heart of his own. And Blake realizes that Morgan’s tears aren’t weakness—they’re the raw edges of a life that’s been broken too many times.
In a cabin cut off from the world, they’ll find the courage to heal…and maybe the love neither dared to hope for.
If you love forced proximity, protective mountain men, and Christmas romances that burn warm and bright, one-click now to curl up with this heart-melting winter escape.
