Snow-covered mountains, a secluded cabin, and a crackling fire had always given English professor Margaret Daniels what she needed to escape the chaos of the holiday season. Little did she know that when she opened her door for Paul Reynor to carry in a load of firewood, this holiday would turn out to be unlike any other. Paul's take-control attitude and his down-home charm bring a smile to her lips but add to the confusion of her empty heart.

No longer content to live in her late husband's memory, Margaret contemplates a prestigious job offer, a move that seemed so simple before meeting Paul. Now with their growing closeness throughout the snow-filled days, they both fight and attraction that seems totally wrong.

Can love bridge the cultural gap and show them the wonders of a second chance?
