Welcome to Rapids Bay, Minnesota, where the beer is cold, the gossip is warm, and love tends to show up when you least expect it.

Sarah
Spending the holidays alone is a special kind of loneliness, but who would have guessed my attempt to not be alone on Christmas would lead to me finding my family again and a man ready and willing to bring me into their crazy… only to end up alone on Christmas anyway after running scared. Running away was never the plan, but being drawn back in and uprooting my entire life for a fresh start gave me purpose. What I didn’t expect? Donnie Larson. The quiet, grumpy mechanic and metal artist with a Viking build and a heart of gold. He’s everything I never knew I wanted—and everything I’m scared to lose.

Donnie
My life was simple—fixing cars by day, and crafting metal sculptures by night. Then Sarah blew into town with her over-the-top energy and unstoppable smile, turning everything upside down. She’s the only person who’s ever seen my work the way I see it. And she’s the only woman who’s ever made me want more. But as much as I want to convince her to stay, I know I need to let her come to me. After all, you can’t strong-arm love… can you?

What happens when a big-city girl finds her home in a small-town artist’s heart? Sparks, laughs, and enough romance to melt even the iciest of Minnesota winters.
