From lost gold to lasting love, this mountain delivers.
Gia comes to the mountains chasing a legend, not love. Armed with a metal detector and a mile-wide stubborn streak, she’s determined to uncover the truth about a long-lost Christmas Eve train wreck. She isn’t expecting a snowstorm to strand her miles from town, or the quiet, broad-shouldered man who finds her before the cold does.
Thatcher lives alone for a reason. Years of solitude suit him just fine, until a bold, talkative stranger turns his cabin into a temporary refuge. Gia's curiosity and warmth dig under his skin, and her belief in the legend starts to pull him into a story he thought he’d left behind.
As snow covers the world outside, walls come down inside. Stolen glances turn into slow touches, quiet becomes comfort, and something real begins to take root. What starts as survival grows into something neither of them wants to leave behind.
Gia grows from a solitary treasure hunter into someone who sees value beyond what’s buried. Thatcher learns how to open his heart and let someone in. Together, they go from strangers to something deeper, choosing love not just for now but for whatever comes next.
A steamy, instalove, grumpy sunshine, snowed in, mountain man, small town Christmas romance exploring love, trust, belonging, discovery, and commitment. It’s about chasing truth, choosing connection over comfort, and realizing the rarest treasures aren't buried under snow, they're built side by side.
The Elevator Pitch: A bold treasure hunter meets her match in a broody mountain man when a snowstorm traps them in his remote cabin days before Christmas. Sparks fly, walls come down, and what starts as survival turns into something far more intimate. Packed with steam, heart, and holiday heat, it's about finding treasure where it matters most.
