The mountain is trying to kill them. But the truth may be the real threat.


She came back to sell the ranch.

She didn’t expect to be snowed in with the man she broke.

Sloane Caldwell hasn’t set foot in Chestnut Ridge in a decade, and she plans to keep her return short and strictly business. The family ranch is nothing but a painful reminder of everything she lost—and everything she walked away from.

Gideon Hayes has spent ten years holding the mountain together with grit, anger, and stubborn loyalty. When Sloane reappears, he’s not interested in explanations or apologies. He wants her off his land and out of his life.

Then the storm hits.

With the only road closed and no way down the mountain, Sloane and Gideon are forced into close quarters where there’s nowhere to hide—from the cold, the past, or each other. Old arguments resurface. Old chemistry refuses to stay buried. And the truth behind Sloane’s disappearance threatens to change everything Gideon thought he knew.

In the heart of winter, their survival isn’t just about staying warm—it’s about deciding whether love is worth the risk of being broken all over again.
