A curvy planner. A guarded athlete. Stuck together with nowhere to hide.
Wynter has everything arranged: a white Christmas in Switzerland, time with her sister, and the perfect moment to get engaged before thirty. What she doesn’t plan for is a breakup at the airport and a stranger taking her ex’s place in the tiny chalet she booked with precision. Now she’s snowed in with Jye, a professional rugby league player with a complicated past and a gaze that sees too much.
Jye never meant to spend the holidays here. He’s supposed to be alone in London, not in a mountain cabin with a heartbroken woman who organizes her tea by brand and makes him want things he’s never let himself want. He doesn’t do feelings. She doesn’t do chaos. But once the fire’s lit and the storm rolls in, boundaries blur and pretending they don’t fit stops being an option.
As their connection deepens, old wounds resurface and hard truths threaten the fragile trust they’ve built. Jye’s past won’t stay buried, and Wynter’s future may not leave space for someone like him. But when you stop fighting what feels right, something real might be waiting on the other side.
Wynter starts off brokenhearted and rigid, needing structure to feel in control, but slowly learns to let go and live in the moment. Jye’s used to keeping his walls high and emotions low, but with Wynter, he lets himself soften. Their dynamic shifts from tension and lust to comfort, honesty, and something neither of them expected.
