When city girl Holly Reinhart drives into the heart of the Adirondacks for a work conference, she doesn't expect three things: a massive snowstorm, a near-fatal encounter with a deer, and waking up with amnesia in a stranger's cabin. The stranger in question? A ruggedly handsome state police helicopter pilot named Grayson Moreland, who's definitely not on her "potential axe murderer" list—though he's quickly making his way onto her "future husband material" one. As the storm rages outside their cozy shelter, Holly and Grayson discover they have more in common than survival instincts. She helps parents of missing children find hope; he rescues the lost in the wilderness. But when the snow melts and reality crashes in—bringing with it Holly's memories, her mother's mental illness, and Grayson's presumptuous ex-girlfriend—their winter wonderland romance faces its biggest test. Now they must decide if their connection is strong enough to bridge the gap between his mountain sanctuary and her city sanctuary. |

Can Shemie convince Keion that the family they've always dreamed of is worth fighting for, or will the past tear them apart for good? |
