A blizzard traps her in a remote cabin with a man she can't stand. But what if she doesn't want to leave when the snow clears?
Marina Lopez might have sworn off love for herself, but that doesn't stop her from being overjoyed that her best friend Annelise has found true happiness with her new man. Determined to help the couple celebrate in style, Marina drives up early to help organize their engagement party at a lodge in rural Vermont owned by the Gaspards, the future bridegroom's wealthy, powerful family. Unfortunately, the weather reports were wrong and she gets snowed in with just about the last person she ever wanted to face again.
Pierre Gaspard, the head of his family, company and financial empire, is used to controlling everything and everyone around him and seldom has a regret. However, he does with regard to the harsh lesson he'd decided to teach Marina months earlier, and he's not thrilled to have her as an unwilling guest at his family's cabin, which became his sanctuary as he recovered from injuries sustained during an attempt on his life.
Explosive and irresistible chemistry draws them together, but as strange accidents accelerate, they begin to fear that they might not be so alone in the snowy Vermont woods after all. When Pierre sends Marina away over a misunderstanding, he unknowingly puts her squarely into the path of the menace that continues to stalk his family. He rushes to her aid, but even if he makes it in time to protect her, he isn't certain he'll ever be able to convince her to forgive him-or that he doesn't want to take the place of her lost love, but instead to build something new together.
