A Grumpy Mountain Man. A Warm-Hearted Woman. A House Too Small for His Guarded Heart. When reclusive mountain man Gene Woodruff loses his cabin to a fire just weeks before Christmas, he's forced to seek shelter in town-somewhere he can keep to himself, far from the noise and meddling of others. But finding a place that suits his gruff, solitary ways and the heavy scars of his past, including bouts of PTSD, is no easy task. Enter Sarah St. James, the bright-eyed innkeeper who has adored him from afar for years. Her brand-new bed and breakfast sits empty, and she's more than happy to offer Gene a room... as long as he doesn't mind her company-and maybe her heart. With an age gap that's hard for Gene to ignore and Sarah's relentless optimism cracking his icy exterior, sparks fly in the coziest of ways. But can a scarred, brooding man truly find solace in the warmth of a woman who sees beyond his grumpiness to the man he could be? Can love thaw even the coldest of winters?
