Trapped between duty and heartbreak, Hannah reluctantly agrees to the loveless arrangement, moving into a home still haunted by memories of Jonah's beloved late wife. As winter's chill settles over their awkward beginning, Hannah faces not only Jonah's grief but also her sister Emma's growing jealousy and resentment. When a fierce blizzard forces Hannah and Jonah to rely on each other for survival, something unexpected begins to bloom between them-a partnership built on respect and understanding that might someday lead to more. But as spring approaches, old wounds reopen, and community crises test their fragile bond. Can a marriage born of necessity transform into a union of love? Hannah and Jonah must discover if faith and forgiveness are enough to turn the coldest of beginnings into a warm and hopeful future together.
