She's a traveling physical therapist who fixes broken bodies but can't fix her own heart. He's a wounded Army Ranger who's given up on everything except the isolation that's slowly killing him. When a freak December blizzard traps them in his ranch house for three days, neither expects to find healing in the person they're stuck with.
Charlotte Collins, 31 and exhausted from caring too much, just wanted to complete one more patient evaluation before the storm hit. Dale Spalding, drowning in chronic pain and PTSD, just wanted the pushy therapist to leave him alone to die in peace. But when her car won't start and the snow buries every road out of the valley, they're forced to share morning coffee, painful truths, and the kind of vulnerability that only comes when you can't run away.
By the third morning, they've shared more than just survival. Charlotte's compulsive need to fix everyone is cracking. Dale's found something his medals couldn't give him: hope. They both know it's impossible. She's his physical therapist; he can barely walk without a cane, and people don't really rebuild their entire lives because of three days trapped in a snowstorm.
But when she keeps coming back for sessions after the roads clear, and he starts doing his exercises just to see her proud smile, Charlotte realizes that sometimes the universe uses broken alternators and weather disasters to show you exactly who you're meant to save. What started as a therapist trapped with her most difficult patient has become two damaged souls discovering that the best healing happens when you stop trying to do it alone.
A closed-door contemporary romance featuring forced proximity, a grumpy/sunshine dynamic that goes deeper than surface, and two people who thought they were too broken for love learning that sometimes the person who saves your life arrives in the middle of the storm that nearly breaks you.
