"His large hands hold me with a gentle pressure, anchoring me. I become aware of the fact that only two layers of fabric separate my skin from his. They do little to prevent waves of warmth from coursing through me at his touch."

Rhett Calhoun's chance encounter at a masquerade ball turns into a fleeting dance with a mysterious woman, only for an emergency to pull him away before he learns her name.
Sarah Forde, on the brink of establishing herself as a top dressmaker in Hollyhead, Massachusetts, reluctantly agrees to spend a week with her ex-boyfriend, hoping to rekindle their past romance. However, a historic blizzard leaves her stranded on a desolate roadside with no hope of reuniting.
When he notices a car trapped in a snowbank, Rhett rescues Sarah and offers shelter at his farmhouse. As they spend the week snowed in, Sarah finds herself drawn to Rhett's charm and the inkling that he is more familiar than she once thought. When the snow clears, Sarah must choose between her past or the promise of a new future with Rhett before they both lose their chance at love.
