Snow-covered mountains, a secluded cabin, and a crackling fire had always been the perfect escape from the chaos of the holiday season for English professor Margaret Daniels. Little did she know that when she opened her door for Paul Reynor to carry in a load of firewood, this holiday would be unlike any other. Paul’s assertive attitude and down-home charm bring a smile to her lips but add to the confusion between her heart and mind.

No longer content to live in her late husband’s memory, Margaret contemplates a prestigious job offer, a move that seemed so simple before meeting Paul. Now they grow closer through the snow-filled days, and they both fight an attraction that seems to challenge everything Margaret thought she wanted.

In the end, Margaret and Paul’s love must bridge the cultural gap and awaken them to the possibility of a second chance.
