One historic inn. Two professional rivals. And a snowstorm that threatens everything.

Nora Ashford doesn’t do spontaneous. As the VP of Acquisitions for a heritage hotel group, she lives by spreadsheets, schedules, and historical accuracy. Her plan is simple—acquire the Riverside Inn, restore it to its 1920s glory, and be back in Boston before Christmas.

Quinn Rodriguez is Nora’s opposite in every way. A wellness entrepreneur with a vision for yoga studios and soaking pools, she wants to turn the inn into a modern retreat. She’s creative, chaotic, and infuriatingly charming.

When a massive blizzard traps them both at the inn days before the owner chooses, the competition heats up. But as the temperature outside drops, the walls between them start to melt. Between sharing a fire, surviving on pantry staples, and discovering a legacy of love hidden in the inn’s walls, whose vision will prevail?

A cozy, Sapphic holiday romance with forced proximity and only one bed, with a grumpy-sunshine dynamic that will melt your heart.
