When sunshiney librarian Lucy Snow moves into a cozy cabin on Devil’s Peak, she doesn’t expect her grumpy, sinfully handsome firefighter neighbor to become her biggest holiday problem… or her biggest temptation. Ash Calder has zero Christmas spirit and one huge responsibility—raising his six-year-old niece after his sister’s sudden deployment. Lucy’s glittery decorations and endless cheer drive him crazy. Her smile? Even worse. It makes him feel things he swore he’d never feel again. Forced together to run the town’s Fire & Frost Festival, their banter sparks, their chemistry burns, and their “accidental” touches start to feel dangerously intentional. By Christmas morning, the only thing melting faster than the snow… is their resistance. A grumpy firefighter. A sunshiney librarian. One bed, one snowstorm, and one holiday spark turning into a wildfire. A Firefighter/Small-Town Librarian, Found Family, Forced Proximity, Snowed In Christmas Romance

Sawyer Rivers doesn’t believe in second chances. Not in love. Not after the fire that took his wife and nearly hollowed him out for good. His world is simple now—his daughter, his duty, and the quiet ache he keeps buried beneath control. Then Tessa rear-ends his truck on a chaotic Devil’s Peak morning. She’s flustered. Apologetic. Too young. Too warm. Too alive. Tessa only planned to stay for the summer. Fresh out of college and running from her own doubts, she needs the job. What she doesn’t need is a brooding, devastatingly intense single dad whose dark eyes linger a little too long and whose touch feels like it could undo her. Sawyer tells himself he’s protecting her by holding back. Tessa refuses to be someone’s almost. And when a fire call drags Sawyer back into the trauma he’s been hiding from, he’s forced to face the one question he’s avoided for almost a decade: can he risk loving without losing everything all over again?
