Adeline Graham just wants to survive winter break without her family imploding. Then she runs into Bruno Holt, her childhood best friend turned crush, who vanished seven years ago. One drunk night, one hospital scare, and suddenly Bruno's her caretaker at a remote log cabin. What starts as awkward nostalgia reignites everything they buried. Snowstorms, midnight confessions, and Adeline falls for the man he's become. But their parents' affair tore them apart once, and history repeats itself. When their families show up unannounced, old wounds rip open. Bruno fights for her, but Adeline must choose: retreat to her lonely life, or trust the boy who broke her heart and healed it in the same breath. First love never dies, but can it survive the people who destroyed it?
