Snowed In for Christmas

Three years ago, Nora Bell discovered her husband had cheated with a woman they both worked beside.

The betrayal should have been enough.

Then Ethan Cole asked Nora to keep working with his mistress until Christmas—because removing her might hurt the holiday campaign at his family’s struggling Vermont lodge.

So Nora walked away from the marriage, the hotel, and the small town that eventually decided she had abandoned them both.

Now she’s back.

Not as Ethan’s wife.

As the restructuring expert with the authority to decide whether Pinehaven Lodge survives.

Nora intends to keep everything professional. Review the books. Fix what can be fixed. Recommend a sale if it can’t.

Then a brutal Christmas storm closes the mountain road.

Nearly one hundred guests and employees are trapped inside Pinehaven. The aging boiler is failing. Supplies are limited. And the only person Nora can trust to help her keep everyone safe is the man who broke her heart.

Ethan has had three years to regret what he did.

But regret isn’t enough.

If he wants a second chance, he’ll have to publicly tell the truth about why Nora left, surrender the control that destroyed their marriage, and finally prove that neither Pinehaven nor Christmas will ever come before her dignity again.

Because this time, when the road opens, Nora will be completely free to leave.

And Ethan’s only hope is that she’ll choose to stay.

A high-angst Christmas romance featuring cheating and betrayal, workplace tension, snowed-in forced proximity, small-town drama, serious grovel, marriage-in-crisis, an earned second chance, and a hard-won HEA.
