Snowbound Hearts

When Irene Reed's small-town bakery teeters on the edge of ruin, a last-minute wedding order at the luxurious Pinewood Resort seems like her one shot at saving everything she's built. What she doesn't expect is to meet Jack Morrison—the resort's ruggedly handsome owner with a complicated past and a heart as generous as the mountain that surrounds them.A winter storm traps them together just as Christmas approaches, and what begins as professional courtesy soon melts into something far deeper. Between the scent of cinnamon, the glow of twinkling lights, and the laughter that fills the snowbound resort, Irene discovers that some risks are worth taking—even after heartbreak. But love is never simple. Distance, doubt, and the fear of being left behind again threaten to undo the fragile hope she's found. As snow blankets the mountain and a second chance sparkles on the horizon, Irene must decide whether to protect her heart—or finally trust it.
