On Thin Ice

The winter after I tossed my high school graduation cap into the air, I made a beeline for Canada, seeking solace in a six-month retreat. My mission? To care for horses and breathe new life into the charming farm of a warm-hearted elderly woman. Moonbreak Falls promises to be my haven, my escape from a life of whirlwind family drama and emotions I locked away for far too long.

Just as I'm sinking into the comforting embrace of frosty days, however, Ruth's grandson bursts onto the scene like a fierce, unyielding snowstorm. This captivating hockey player has the appearance of a fallen angel, and his arrival cranks up the heat on the once-tranquil farm enormously. Determined to steal my first male kiss, his electrifying methods send my heart racing, pounding out an exhilarating new rhythm. Love? That was definitely the last thing I was looking for in this icy paradise!

Yet, North Beckett crashes into my life with an intensity I'm not prepared for. And suddenly, all I can do is count fireflies amidst the winter chill.
