Lainey Langton was never supposed to stay in Silverpine. A rising fashion designer. Red carpet regular. L.A. elite. She only came home to help her injured dad — not to get stuck in a snow-blanketed small town with bad cell service and worse manners.
Especially not from the infuriatingly gruff Calder Cameron. Big. Bearded. Brutal with his words. Until he finds out who she really is — and realizes the girl in his doorway isn’t some spoiled city brat... she’s Lainey Langton.
And he just majorly screwed up.
Now Calder’s on a mission to make it up to her — one homemade coffee, one fixed hallway light, one custom-built desk at a time.
What starts as tension slowly turns into something soft. Fierce. Real.
Lainey’s world was always runway shows and velvet gowns — but Calder makes her feel like she could trade the red carpet for flannel sheets and home-cooked dinners.
He’s not just a bear of a man — he’s the reason she finally feels safe.
And he’s about to prove that love doesn’t always come wrapped in a bow — Sometimes, it builds you a desk and carves your name into forever.
