Marc, her best friend’s older brother, once broke her heart, and in the years since, she’s tried to bury the pain. But fate, or perhaps the weather, has other plans. A blustery winter storm forces Jamie to face Marc once again when she needs his help for a simple Christmas dinner. Marc, now a successful tech billionaire, is not the same man Jamie remembers. He’s confident, wealthy, and carries a lingering hurt from the years they’ve been apart. The animosity between them runs deep, but so does the chemistry that still simmers beneath the surface. As the storm rages outside, they find themselves snowbound together in a cozy cabin, sparks flying as they revisit their past, confront their old wounds, and discover that sometimes, love doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to be real.
