Snowbound Hearts (Evergreen Hearts, #1)

In the snowy, small-town charm of Evergreen Hills, fate brings together two men from opposite worlds. Joshua Carter, a troubled 23-year-old with a criminal past, has spent his life running from his mistakes. Desperate and cold, he attempts to steal from a local Christmas charity, only to be caught by Gabe Delaney-a kindhearted volunteer with an unshakable belief in the power of redemption.

But before Joshua can flee, a fierce snowstorm traps them together in the charity's building overnight. What begins as an icy standoff soon melts into an unexpected connection. Gabe sees something in Joshua-a spark of vulnerability and a yearning for something more-and Joshua, against all odds, starts to believe in the possibility of change.
