After a burst pipe destroys her New York City bookstore, Emily Sawyer retreats to the last place she ever thought she’d call home again—Snowfall Valley, Vermont.

The small town may have changed, but one thing hasn’t: the way her heart races around Luke Caldwell … her best friend’s older brother and the first boy she ever loved. 

Emily thought she’d buried those feelings years ago. But one look at the rugged, charming firefighter, and they come roaring back.

When a snowstorm strands them alone in his remote mountain cabin, simmering attraction turns into steamy, smoldering nights. 

And with Christmas fast approaching, Emily must decide: return to her old life or risk her heart on the one man she’s always wanted.
