Snowflakes and Second Glances

A historic ski lodge on the brink of winter. The craftsman who built its doors. And the second chance neither saw coming under the mistletoe.

Chloe thought she had left the past behind when she returned to Mistletoe Mountain to manage her familys beloved alpine ski lodge. But restoring the weathered timber beams and drafty halls before the first holiday rush proves more demanding than she anticipated. When an early December blizzard threatens to bury the property before opening weekend, she needs the towns premier timber craftsman.

She didnt expect that craftsman to be Garrett Calloway.

Garrett is the quiet, rugged carpenter who once held her teenage heart—and the man she walked away from a decade ago to pursue city ambitions. Now broader, weathered by Sierra winters, and quieter than ever, Garrett agrees to help weatherize the lodge before the mountain passes freeze over.

Trapped together by howling mountain winds and waist-deep snowdrifts, the unresolved embers of their youth flicker back to life. Between late-night repairs in the great hall, mugs of spiced cider by the stone hearth, and the quiet comfort of familiar laughter, Chloe realizes the mountain never truly let Garrett go—and Garrett never stopped waiting for her.

With Christmas Eve approaching, can two guarded hearts forgive the distance of the past, or will the blizzard leave them stranded with only memories?
