Calm Before the Storm

Emily is running—fleeing the pain, fear, and scars left behind by the man she once trusted. With two young children to protect and no destination in mind, she boards a late-night bus to nowhere, hoping to find safety, healing, and a future far different from her broken past. Determined to stand on her own, she’s sworn off men altogether—her heart and body can’t take another betrayal.

Travis is hiding—from the ghosts of holidays past and the unbearable memories of the family he lost. Each winter, he escapes to his secluded mountain cabin, far from the noise and joy of the season. It’s his safe haven, a place to grieve in peace and face another year alone.

But this year, his sanctuary is anything but quiet. Without his knowledge, his sister has offered the cabin to Emily and her kids, and a snowstorm traps them all under one roof. What begins as a reluctant arrangement soon shifts as two guarded hearts start to thaw in the warmth of shared moments and unexpected kindness.

As Emily’s resolve to stay independent collides with Travis’s vow to keep his distance, will they find the courage to let love heal the wounds of their pasts? Or will the storm that brought them together leave them both out in the cold?
