When Navy SEAL Noah Ramsey is sent on mandatory leave after a mission goes tragically wrong, he finds himself isolated in a remote mountain cabin. Haunted by guilt and the weight of loss, he expects the silence to swallow him whole. What he doesn’t expect is Ellie Carter—a spirited, no-nonsense wilderness guide with a heart as fierce as the winter storm outside.
Ellie has seen too much pain to tolerate Noah’s gruff demeanor. Having lost her own brother to the battlefield, she’s determined to break through Noah’s stubborn silence, even if it means challenging the walls he’s built around himself. As an unexpected blizzard traps them together, tension builds, but so does a spark neither of them can ignore.
When secrets about their pasts surface, Noah and Ellie must confront the grief and fear that have kept them from moving forward. In the harsh, snowy wilderness, they’ll learn that healing is not a solitary journey—and sometimes, lowering your guard is the bravest move of all.
Can Noah find the courage to embrace a future with Ellie, or will the shadows of his past force him to keep running?
