A holiday retreat... Eager to avoid his family's snide comments and backhanded compliments during the holidays, Alex Walsh whisks his beloved wife, Charlotte, to peaceful Smith Mountain Lake for a romantic getaway in a cozy lakeside cabin. When they arrive to pick up the keys, they are surprised to learn the cabin's owner is a man from Charlotte's past, a time she'd long since buried. A chance reunion... Travis Jones never expected to see her again, the woman who'd brought light and color to his life before moving on with hers. Now Charlotte's in his family's cabin, expensive luggage and doting husband in tow. He refuses to allow that door of his heart to open even a crack, but unfortunately for all three, a snowstorm rolls in, making it impossible for him to leave before night falls. A Christmas wish... With the fireplace roaring, Charlotte's memories of that magical summer spent with Travis collide with her present role as Alex's wife. Despite her devotion to her husband, she cannot help but wish for something more, something forbidden. Courageous vulnerability compels her to give voice to her deepest desires, but will the two men recoil or give her everything she's ever wanted?
