AT A CROSSROADS, LANA TODD HAS JUST TEN DAYS TO
DECIDE THE REST OF HER LIFE.
Leaving Hawaii in a hurry, she arrives in Lake Tahoe with nothing but a suitcase full of summer clothes and every intention of remaining anonymous.
A winter storm and a twist of fate, bring her to Brad, a charismatic local whose easy smile and quiet kindness make it impossible not to let her guard down. What begins as a chance encounter in a sporting goods store soon becomes snow-covered adventures, laughter on the slopes, and late-night conversations by the fire. For the first time in years, Lana dares to imagine a very different future.
But when reality calls her home and long-buried truths threaten everything she's found in South Lake, Lana must decide whether to return to the world she's spent years pursuing... or risk it all for the place—and the man—that finally feel like home.
One winter break.
One life-changing decision.
And a love she never saw coming.

"Just beautifully written! It was a heartfelt combo of romance, suspense, and emotional healing. The story captures the main character's (Lana) grief, while showing how love can unexpectedly emerge during life's heaviest moments. Light always wins. Lana is a strong yet vulnerable individual, and Brad is a confident protector whose kind demeanor makes him easy to root for. The beautiful setting of Lake Tahoe adds a peaceful contrast to the political craziness and intense scenes that unfold. The romance develops naturally, and the connection to Lana's late father gives the story emotional depth. It's an engaging, feel-good read for anyone who enjoys clean romantic suspense with memorable characters. Such a lovely ending. It will stick with you." ~ Maria S
