From Snow (Paperback or Softback)

Gretchen Stephens escaped her small Kentucky hometown years ago—and she's never looked back.

After her father drank himself to death and her mother couldn't care for her, Gretchen dropped out of high school and clawed her way to a stable life in the city. Now she's got a good job, a nice apartment, and a dream: owning a fancy event venue someday.

So when she inherits a rundown farmhouse from the grandmother she barely knew, the plan is simple: sell it fast and use the money to fund her future.

Her resolve only solidifies when the hot handyman, Jackson, shows up to help haul off the old refrigerator. Because even if she could make the old farmhouse into the fancy event venue of her dreams, the last thing she needs is some country boy to trap her in her past, and the last thing she wants is to leave the city she loves to go back to the hills of Kentucky.

But when a freak snowstorm traps Gretchen and Jackson inside with a critically injured kid, everything changes. As they fight to keep the boy alive until help can arrive, Gretchen realizes she might have misjudged Jackson. And maybe the whole town.

Suddenly, the old farmhouse doesn't look like a burden. It looks like possibility.

But going back means risking the life she fought so hard to build. And trusting a place—and a man—that reminds her of everything she ran from.

Can Gretchen let go of her past long enough to see her future? Or will fear keep her from the life—and the love—she never knew she wanted?
