What to expect
‘A swoony slow‑burn romance set against one of the most magical backdrops imaginable.’ Reader Review ★★★★★
Will sparks fly under a starlit sky?
Violet loves her job as an event planner, but lately she’s been feeling uninspired. So when she wins a holiday to a cosy woodland lodge in Lapland it seems like the perfect holiday gift – giving her the chance to pursue her long-neglected passion for painting with no distractions.
But her alone time is dramatically interrupted when the ruggedly handsome Rasmus storms in to confront her, after mistaking Violet for the lodge’s troublesome owner.
Left in no doubt about Rasmus’s fiery passion, Violet is instantly drawn to him, despite their awkward first meeting. Accepting Rasmus's peace offering, to show her his favourite spots for painting, they explore the enchanting snowy landscapes together – and their chemistry and connection are undeniable…
But as Violet’s return home draws closer, they must confront the ticking clock on their whirlwind winter romance. Will Violet find the courage to follow her heart before the icy winds carry her away?
