The Cabin Next Door
A Small-Town Romance
She came back to breathe.
She didn't expect to fall for the man who never left.
Maeve Holloway is exhausted. Burned out by city life and a career that never stops asking for more, she escapes to her aunt's quiet mountain cabin in Pine Hollow, Montana, planning to stay just long enough to catch her breath.
Next door lives Rowan Kincaid. A steady, soft-spoken contractor and volunteer firefighter who's built his life around staying when others leave. He fixes things. He shows up. He doesn't expect anyone to choose him.
From the first knock on her door, something about Rowan makes Maeve feel safe in a way she hasn't felt in years.
As snow begins to fall and the town settles into winter, Maeve finds herself slowing down. Sharing coffee. Sharing quiet. Letting someone see how tired she really is.
Then a brutal snowstorm traps them together - cutting the power and the outside world - forcing two guarded hearts into close quarters.
With firelight, shared blankets, and conversations that go deeper than either expected, Maeve and Rowan must face the truth:
Sometimes rest feels dangerous.
Sometimes staying feels even more so.
And sometimes love looks like choosing not to run.
The Cabin Next Door is a cozy, slow-burn small-town romance filled with found family, emotional healing, forced proximity, and the kind of love that grows softly - and stays.
