Jesse Collins, pushed over the edge after life-long childhood trauma, retreats from the world to the isolation of the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. There, all he wants to do is be left alone to pick up the pieces of his shattered life. Starting over is the last thing on his mind. Stella Blair, lost in a hole of grief so deep she can't find her way out, just wants to hide away from everyone and everything. Unfortunately, deadlines and obligations refuse to allow her peace. A rental tucked away in the wilderness seems like the perfect escape. Except she is woefully unprepared for the trials of winter deep in the woods, far from civilization. When she stumbles upon a reclusive mountain man, she has no idea what she's getting herself into. When a beautiful woman filled with despair practically falls into Jesse's life, his only intention is to save her, but could she save him?
