Photographer Trish never planned to hook up with her best friend’s boyfriend’s friend in the linen closet. But that’s exactly what happens during the opening party of Marla’s castle in the Scottish Highlands.

Three months later winter has rolled in, and Marla invites Trish back to capture her castle’s holiday charm. Trish jumps at the chance – definitely not because she can’t stop thinking about Jack, the rugged single dad who made the shelves rattle and her knees melt.

For Jack, life’s about his three kids and keeping things easy. Relationships? Hard pass. But with Trish in Kilcranach, that one-night stand turns into daily run-ins and an attraction he can’t ignore.

As December’s festivities push them together, they’re falling faster than the snowflakes. But can they risk their hearts on a love that was never supposed to happen?
