Christmas is just a trap designed to sell candles and make single people feel bad about themselves." — Clark Vega Cole, Lawyer. She doesn't do Christmas at all. Feelings, small towns, and guys on motorcycles are also not her thing. For some reason, she has to let a rough, charming, and incredibly good-looking biker named Ryder Kane help her when her car breaks down in the middle of Millbrook on Christmas Eve. Millbrook is the state's most over-the-top holiday town. He's more than just a man with a motorcycle and a nice smile. He runs Millbrook's well-liked shop and is kind of like the town's guardian, but he has secrets as deep as the December snow. When a blizzard locks Vega in town and a case she's been chasing for months suddenly ties directly to Ryder's past, the lines between enemy and friend begin to blur in the most dangerous way. As Christmas lights shine, secrets come to light, and sparks fly through the cold winter air, Vega has to make a choice: Will she fight this feeling with all her might, or will she finally let someone in? One car that isn't working. One small Christmas town. One biker who sees right through her armor. Love doesn't wait for the right moment — sometimes it arrives covered in snow and motor oil.

When my recent neural implant surgery restored my sight, I couldn't wait to tell Caleb. We had been the envy of our college campus. My years of blindness were fraught with peril—a skiing accident, a hit-and-run that left me on the brink of death. If it weren't for Caleb's round-the-clock care, I would have died long ago. The thought made my fingers tremble as I typed out a message. "Caleb, I can see." But my thumb slipped, and I accidentally opened his social media page. The first thing I saw was a photo of him embracing my best friend, with the caption, "1000 days with you." Christina's comment was right underneath. "You're not afraid the blind girl will see?" I stared at the screen, my newly restored vision blurring as my eyes stung with tears. It turned out seeing the world again wasn't so wonderful after all.
