One lawyer looking to stop a development. One ex-developer shunning his old way of life. Two worlds about to collide. Melanie Summer has always felt slightly out-of-place. She can’t find a date to save her life, she has a thing for heritage and old stories, and never seems to make a difference in the lives of others despite being a lawyer. But when a developer threatens everything she loves about her beloved Muskoka—from its heritage to her childhood summer camp—she knows she's the woman to stop them. The only problem is that the lynchpin for her case—the reclusive Tristen Bell—won't talk to her. Two years ago, cut-throat developer Tristen Bell’s drive to win hurt the ones he loves most and he lost everything but the one thing that never mattered—his billion-dollar nest egg. Now divorced and living in Muskoka, he’s shunning everything related to his old world. But when his teenage daughter walks back into his life only to be injured by a developer’s negligence he knows he has to do something, and the irresistible Melanie Summer has just the plan. He knows he could shut down his old competitor in a heartbeat…but only if he dons his old way of life. Will Melanie be able to stop the developer on her own? Or will Tristen find a way to trust his gut as well as his old self in order to save the day? And most of all, will they both get a second chance at love?

One blizzard. Two opposites. And stolen kisses under the mistletoe. Josh Carson has a secret. As a firefighter he’s comfortable being sent in to save forests and wildlife, but in his spare time he creates delicate hair ribbons that are anything but masculine. When he finds Simone snowed in on Nymph Island--and she’d rather freeze than be saved by Mr. Tough Guy--he realizes that the only way to win her over and get her to safety is to take a risk and reveal his true self. Simone Pascal loves being independent and self-reliant--she’s never needed a man to save her, and yet she keeps falling into Josh’s arms at every turn, wanting him to rescue her. The worst part? She likes it. A lot. Which is a big problem since she’s rearranged her entire life to take on a new project—a baby via a sperm donor. Her life plans most definitely do not include anything as unpredictable as falling in love with Mr. Macho Firefighter, but that seems to be exactly what she’s doing. Will the two come to terms with their true selves in time to snag their happily ever after? Or will they be spending Christmas cold and alone? This is a strong heroine, billionaire heroine where opposites attract romance. Get snowed-in over Christmas in this sweet romance set in the small town of Port Carling Canada.
