Some matches you don’t see coming.

Tennis star Erika came to Willowvale to disappear — from the cameras, the headlines, and a meddling mother. A cottage, a rascally dog, and solitude were supposed to be the whole plan.

Then her dog picks the one yard in Willowvale he isn’t supposed to.

Brent doesn’t do visitors, and definitely doesn’t do falling in love. Between chasing an escape artist through the snow and banter that feels like a rematch he keeps losing on purpose, his guarded quiet doesn’t stand a chance.

Erika came to hide. Instead, she finds a town that welcomes her, a man carrying his own quiet grief, and a love she never saw coming.

Suddenly, the quiet life she’s fallen in love with, and the man at the center of it, is at risk.

Some things you can’t outrun.

Love, it turns out, is one of them.
