Can love heal the wounds we cannot see?

In the heart of Maple Grove, where fresh snow softens every street and the last of the Christmas lights glow against the winter night, Simone Turner has built the life she always wanted. Her pet hotel, Heart and Soul, is her pride, her purpose, and the way she cares for the town she never left.

Then Aiden Abbott returns. He’s her best friend’s older brother, newly home from military service with a wounded shoulder and quieter scars he won’t speak of. Simone has secretly carried feelings for him since she was sixteen, but now he’s a man struggling to find his footing in a world that feels forever changed.

As New Year’s draws near, their paths keep crossing, from morning dog walks to snowy evenings that feel softer when he’s near. Something gentle and undeniable begins to bloom between them, even as fear whispers that love can be fragile…and that Aiden may not be ready to stay.

With her friends’ encouragement and a town full of warm, meddling hearts, Simone must decide whether to risk her heart, and Aiden must learn whether he can trust someone to love him past the broken pieces.
