When a blizzard traps a grumpy deer shifter and her old crush in a rundown motel, she'll have to fix more than the heat to survive.

Darby fled for the city years ago to escape bad memories and drama. But when she inherits grandma's motel back home in a sleepy Michigan town, Darby has no choice but to head north. The plan is to convince someone, anyone, to take it off her hands, and then she can return to the comfort of the city once again.

But on her way, a blizzard whites out the road, and Darby swerves to miss a deer jumping in front of her car. Now her car's totaled, her ankle is injured, and she's snowed in the motel, which isn't habitable.

Even worse? Her rescuer is stuck with her, Darby's old crush, Oz. He's the last person she wants to see, and now she has to face all their history and survive the blizzard alone with him.
