CHAPTER ONE
Christmas Eve
Green Mountain Range
Snowbound, Vermont
Temperature: 16 degrees. Wind Chill: -10.
Allie Hartley swiped her palm across one corner of the front window of Hartley’s General Store, clearing the condensation. Then drew her hands beneath the sleeves of her white cable-knit sweater to keep them warm. The weather had shifted drastically within the last hour. A howling wind and slanting flurries now flattened the fat, fluffy snowflakes that had glistened beneath the vintage street lights, foretelling Christmas Eve. She could no longer see the sidewalk. Main Street was a blur. Cautionary whiteout conditions existed.
The electricity flickered. She lit hurricane lamps, to be on the safe side. The flames danced within the amber globes. Flashlights had new batteries. There would be no stumbling around in the dark, should the lights go out. A reclaimed cast-iron fireplace stood ready. She’d stacked sufficient wood. She would stay warm.
No store owner in her right mind would remain open.
No sane customer would be out on a night like this.
Snowbound lived up to its name. The town tucked in for the night. It was time to lock up.
She crossed to the door, ready to set the deadbolt. She never had the chance. The door flew open. Slamming back against the wall. Old Man Winter blew a man inside. A very big man. One wearing a full face helmet and snowmobile suit. A black backpack slung over one shoulder. He stomped his heavy, winter boots, and made his own snowdrift.
Rhys Forester. Allie would know him anywhere. Even in the middle of a blizzard.
Helmeted and snow-covered. He was an old friend, and an unexpected pleasure.
He put his shoulder to the door, closed it. Locked them in. The slide of the deadbolt was loud in the silence. A significant sound of shutting out the world. Only the two of them existed.
Her eyes widened.
His gaze narrowed.
She took a giant step back.
He took one forward.
She breathed in.
He breathed out.
They had an undeniable rhythm between them. A friendship that started in diapers and withstood thirty years. He was practically a member of the family. Their attachment was healthy. Solid. Casual and smooth. No pressure.
Up until December 10th. Three-thirty in the afternoon, to be exact. Time had stopped for her. An unanticipated incident had affected them both. Startling her, and surprising the hell out of him.
She relived the moment in her mind. She’d been decorating the store for Christmas when Rhys stopped by. He had free time, and she coerced him into helping. Hot chocolate in exchange for stringing holiday lights. He retrieved the box from the attic and began untangling them. It took him a good long while.
There was a lot to do, and she’d dealt with her own decorations, determined to climb the ladder and tack a plastic sprig of mistletoe on a low hanging beam. Rhys warned her not to use the rickety wooden ladder. It wasn’t safe. She was accident prone. He would drag the aluminum ladder in from the storeroom once he finished the strands.
She’d ignored him. She was competent. Capable. Or so she thought. Securing the ladder, she climbed. Up five rungs, and the sixth splintered. She’d slipped. Started to fall. A big splinter sliced her palm when she tried to hang on. She scratched her ankle on the broken rung.
A man of quick
