Bailey Pierce thought leaving Maverick Greenwood was the right thing to do. They'd been together since eighth grade, and Freshman year of college felt like the perfect time to find herself to figure out who she was without the boy who had always been by her side. Then a month later, his brother died. And she never reached out. Now it's their first college winter break, and both families are headed to their usual Christmas house at Seneca Lake - just like every year. Except this year, Bailey and Mav haven't spoken since everything fell apart. Trapped under one roof, surrounded by memories, traditions, and the snowstorm that refuses to let up, Bailey and Mav are forced to confront everything they've been avoiding. What they had. What they lost. And what might still be waiting beneath the silence. A quiet, emotional second-chance winter romance about grief, growing up, and the people who never really leave your heart.
