When I decided to surprise my family in Wellhaven, Vermont, for Christmas, I had no idea that I myself would be in for a surprise - in the form of an unexpected snowstorm. I haven't been home in four years, since I left this town in search of adventure. And my heart was ready to forget the only man I had ever loved.

River Jensen is my ex-husband. I didn't plan to meet him during my visit. I definitely didn't see him saving me when my little rental car slid off the icy road. And the last thing I was prepared for was to be stuck in a tiny hut with him, waiting out the storm.

It had been four years since I had seen him—the boy I loved, and now the man I loved completely. Don't know. But being stuck alone with him leaves no options other than time spent together. Everything about River has changed, and yet he still has the same green eyes that have haunted me since I left. Then we found ourselves at a dead end - there was nothing to talk about, nothing to fix. And my only choice was to leave and start over.

But the more I rediscover the person I left behind, the more I question why I left in the first place. And wasn’t I too late to find my way home.
