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 to keep her guard up. 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, real-life struggles, and emotional healing. This love story develops naturally, and the connection to Lana's late father adds emotional depth. It's an engaging, feel-good read for anyone who enjoys limited spice with memorable characters. Such a lovely ending that will stick with you." ~ Maria S
"I am hooked by the growing connection between Lana and Brad and can't stop turning the pages. Need to know how their story ends. Love the location change! I'm on chapter 40 already, and it's only day two!" ~ Genie. B
"The female lead is so different. She is more than courageous and brave. The chemistry between the characters starts immediately. I like that I didn't have to wait too long. LOL. South Lake is absolutely charming, and every chapter left me with new questions. It's the kind of book that's difficult to put down." ~ Sandra K.
"This book is filled with heart and unforgettable characters. (Loved Marlena! Not just Brad and Lana.) The slow burn develops easily. The emotions feel genuine. The author's descriptions of Lake Tahoe make you want to vacation there. I wish more people in the world were like Lana Todd. Such a caring young woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders." ~ Kirstin C.
"E.A. Stark has a wonderful way of blending heartfelt emotion with just the right amount of spice. She also explored the difficult decisions women face as they try to balance family and career. I found myself rooting for Lana. Throughout the book, I smiled, teared up, giggled, and constantly wondered what would happen next. Brad was so hunky! Loved him!" ~ Jeanette N.
"Brad Arlington is the perfect man for Lana Todd. Dreamy, supportive, and very protective. The moments between them felt real and were very moving. If you enjoy mature romance and a story filled with hope, this is one you'll want to experience. It had me reading until two in the morning!" ~ Maria G.
