Maddie Callahan has been doing fine without her husband. Really. The fact that she's spent Christmas Eve dressed as a mall elf hawking financial planning calendars? Totally fine. Better than going home to the empty house she once shared with Theo, where every room still echoes with the dreams they built together—and the silence that tore them apart.
Then Theo walks back into her life carrying a shopping bag from the kind of store that sells jewelry for special women, and suddenly eleven months of "fine" goes up in flames. The divorce papers are signed. She asked him to leave. So why does seeing him again feel like coming up for air after drowning?
Theo Callahan made the biggest mistake of his life when he walked out that door. He thought giving Maddie space was noble. Turned out it was just cowardice dressed up as sacrifice. Now, with a Christmas snowstorm trapping them under the same roof and his unsigned divorce papers burning a hole in his conscience, he's got one last shot to prove he can be the husband she deserved all along.
Two days. One house. A blizzard that won't quit and a love that refuses to stay buried. Maddie and Theo are about to discover that the hardest part of a second chance isn't forgiving each other—it's finding the courage to hope again.
