Betrayed by her fiancé and facing an unexpected pregnancy, Alice Bennett sells her apartment, packs whatever pride she has left, and does the only sensible thing: run far, far away for the Christmas holidays. Her destination? The cozy — and utterly isolated — Snowfall Creek Ranch, a countryside holiday resort in the heart of Texas. What she didn’t expect was to meet a host so… unbearable. Marco Hill, the owner of the ranch, is a grumpy, quiet, widowed cowboy. He carries deep scars and a pain that turned Christmas into his worst nightmare. To his employees, he’s loyal. To his guests, he’s polite. To Alice, however… he’s impossible. But only until she smiles. With her light humor, charming messiness, and a strength she doesn’t even realize she has, Alice slowly begins to spark warmth where Marco swore he would live in the dark. He tries to keep his distance. She tries to stay focused. But the ranch’s Christmas traditions, the silent snowy nights, and a chemistry neither of them wants to admit pull their guarded hearts closer than either expected. Between sparks, funny arguments, accidental touches, teasing, and secrets, Alice and Marco discover that… Sometimes, the best family is the one life rebuilds — even when it starts with heartbreak, an unexpected baby, and one very grumpy cowboy. And this Christmas, at Snowfall Creek Ranch… love may reignite what once felt forever lost.

Minha sogra sofreu um acidente de carro e foi levada para a sala de emergência. Liguei mais de vinte vezes para meu marido advogado até que ele finalmente atendeu. — O que você está aprontando de novo? Mirella teve um problema, estou ajudando aqui, para de me incomodar à toa. Segurei minha mágoa e contei que sua mãe sofrera um acidente, pedindo que transferisse cem mil reais. Mas ele, acreditando nas palavras de Mirella, respondeu com grosseria: — O que o acidente da sua mãe tem a ver comigo? Nem pense em tirar dinheiro de mim para ajudar sua família. Não me incomode, estou ocupado. A ligação foi abruptamente encerrada. A sogra não resistiu e veio a falecer. Três dias depois, na audiência, vi meu marido advogado defendendo com eloquência a ex-namorada, acusada de dirigir embriagada. Ele alegou falta de provas e conseguiu que Mirella fosse absolvida. Desolada, após a audiência, pedi o divórcio. Ele entrou em pânico. — Minha mãe sempre te tratou tão bem, se você se divorciar de mim, ela vai ficar arrasada! Ri friamente, jogando na cara dele o comprovante do hospital e o atestado de óbito. Idiota, ele ainda não sabia que já não tinha mais mãe.
