Falls Like Snow
(2027)(The first book in the Maple Lake Collection, Smitten Season series)
A novel by Tari Faris
Everyone in Maple Lake thinks they know Ledger Nash. They're wrong.
He's a widower, a single dad, and—as far as the lake knows—a guy who tinkers in his garage. Nobody knows he's the self-taught entrepreneur behind the ice-fishing shelters half the town is sitting in. He'd like to keep it that way.
Enter Dakota Edwards. Two days ago she had the title, the corner office, and the color-coded life to prove she'd earned it—until her boss fled the country with the money and left her holding the paperwork. Now she's got fifty dollars, a frozen bank account, her name on a federal investigation, and nowhere to go but a Minnesota town she's never heard of.
He needs a nanny for two weeks. She needs a paycheck and a place to hide.
Falling in love is absolutely not in the plan.
But coffee at his kitchen table turns into late-night laughter—and a little girl who lost her mama starts reaching for the woman who's only supposed to be temporary. She's hiding who she used to be. He's hiding who he really is. And the closer they get, the harder both secrets fight to stay buried.
She came here to disappear. She never planned on being found.
Falls Like Snow is the cozy, heartwarming opening to Maple Lake: Smitten Season—four standalone winter romances from Sunrise Publishing. Cold hands. Warm hearts. Come get smitten.

- A secret-millionaire hero hiding in plain sight—and a heroine who has no idea the guy fixing her flat owns half the ice on the lake.
A single dad and a motherless four-year-old who decides the temporary nanny is hers to keep.
Forced proximity, snowed-in small-town winter, and a heroine who falls first and fights it the whole way down.
The slow warmth of found family, a business only she can save, and faith woven in as a quiet grace note.
Clean, closed-door romance. Big heart. No spice. A love that falls as quietly as snow.
