Her childhood crush. A snowed-in cabin. A Christmas neither of them will forget.

When a burst pipe destroys Emily Sawyer's New York City bookstore and the apartment above it she calls home, she seeks refuge in Snowfall Valley, Vermont—the small town she left behind years ago.

Emily can’t believe how much has changed since she last visited, though one thing remains exactly the same: the way her heart beats a little bit faster whenever she crosses paths with her best friend’s older brother, Luke Caldwell.

Emily thought she buried her childhood crush on Luke long ago, but spending time with the handsome firefighter again forces her to admit the truth—she never truly stopped wanting him.

As days turn to weeks, and an immediate return to Manhattan looks less and less likely, Emily and Luke’s friendship grows into something deeper. Something electric. And when a snowstorm traps them together in Luke's cabin, late-night confessions ignite a passion Emily never imagined possible.

Now she must choose: return to the city or forge a new life in Snowfall Valley with the man of her dreams. Can she overcome her fears and claim the happiness she deserves?
