Maya Bennett writes about places people abandon. She has never quite managed to write about the one person she left behind herself.
Three years after their breakup, a magazine assignment sends her to Ravenswood, a grand, decaying hotel with a tragic history, for the same week Aiden Cross arrives to assess the same building. He is the architect. He is also the man she once loved enough to leave rather than come second again.
Snowed in together with only a caretaker and a century-old ghost story for company, Maya and Aiden run out of ways to avoid each other, and eventually run out of reasons to avoid the truth: the choices that ended them, the fear that kept them apart, and the one question neither of them has been brave enough to actually ask.
"Ravenswood," they said, at almost exactly the same moment, and something passed between them that wasn't quite laughter and wasn't quite panic.
A slow burn, second chance romance about the difference between waiting for an answer and finally asking the question.
