With a scar that serves as a constant reminder of the devastation, Emma returns to her hometown of Laurel Ridge, West Virginia, hoping to escape the grief that haunts her. What she doesn’t expect is to be drawn back into this charming small town, its winter cheer, & the quiet strength of one man in particular.
Mark Thompson has had his own share of heartbreak, losing his wife four years ago. Now, his days revolve around raising his sweet daughter, Olivia, & teaching at the local elementary school. His deep faith has helped him heal, but when Emma reenters his life, he begins to wonder if he’s ready for a second chance at love.
As the holiday season envelops the town in warmth & festive joy, Emma finds herself drawn into the community once again. But no matter how hard she tries to resist it, the bond between her and Mark—and her growing attachment to Olivia—becomes impossible to deny.

Debbie Ferguson, a traveling nurse & devoted single mom, has built a peaceful life with her teenage twins, Nathan and Danielle, in the rugged beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. After her divorce, she’s focused solely on her children and her career, leaving little room for romance. But when a fierce winter storm traps the family in their remote cabin, Debbie’s carefully ordered world is upended by an unexpected visitor.
Caleb Warren, a reclusive lumber mill supervisor, has spent years hiding from the pain of his past. Haunted by guilt over his late wife’s death, Caleb has isolated himself in the mountains, letting his grief define him. But when a skidding truck and an icy road send him crashing into Debbie’s yard, his path changes forever.
As the blizzard rages outside, Debbie welcomes Caleb into her home, and the close quarters reveal more than just practical skills and survival instincts. Through shared meals by firelight, quiet late-night conversations, and moments of unspoken understanding, Debbie and Caleb begin to confront the wounds of their pasts. Debbie’s faith and warmth challenge Caleb to release his guilt, while Caleb’s steady presence helps Debbie trust in love again.
When the snow clears, Caleb and Debbie must decide whether their connection can weather the thaw. Can Caleb overcome the weight of his grief? Will Debbie find the courage to let someone new into her heart?
