I Will Always Love You (Maybe)

An Utterly Captivating Forced Proximity LGBTQ+ Romance (Meet Cute in Minnesota)

What's worse than regretting a one-night stand? Being snowed in with her.

Since losing her wife six years ago, Colby has perfected the hermit lifestyle: secluded Minnesota cabin, golden retriever, weekly cupcake run. Zero complications. Until a chaotic, pink-haired vet tech arrives for a house call and—in one reckless moment—Colby lets someone in.

It was supposed to be one night. Then the blizzard hit.

Josie is a serial hobbyist who's perfected the art of avoiding rejection. Pilates, painting, pickleball—anything but feelings. So being trapped in a cabin with no distractions and a gorgeous woman who clearly regrets last night? Personal nightmare.

But a lot can happen in a week. Stolen glances turn into lingering eye contact. Awkward silences become late-night conversations. And when the snow stops, both of them have to face the question they've been avoiding: what if the biggest risk isn't opening your heart to someone, it's letting her walk away when the roads finally clear?

A tender and emotional romance about finding love when (and where) you're absolutely not looking for it. Perfect for fans of Ashley Herring Blake, Casey McQuiston.
