Summary
Lost goals make way for new dreams. Two enemies must face their cold past and find new warmth in this wintry, forced proximity rom-com from Kris Ripper, author of Book Boyfriend.
Aspiring investigative reporter Des Cleary had dreams of a better world—one more accepting of people like him—when he broke the story of Orion Broderick’s relationship. A story that kicked Orion out of the soccer halls of fame and sent him careening into obscurity. Racked with shame, Des abandoned his own career for good.
Now working at an LA marketing firm, Des gets a daunting assignment: recruit Orion for a Pride campaign aiming to get LGBTQI+ kids into sports. But this is no shot at redemption—how could Des ever make up for what he’s done?
Des finds Orion’s cabin in the snowcapped mountains. His strategy? Keep it professional and get out quick. Nature has other plans. Snowed in together, Des and Orion have a chance to address past wrongs and lost goals. Time and shame have changed them both, but winter has a way of clearing the way for fresh beginnings.

“Ripper’s keen character work and lively narrative voice will make readers warm to Des even while wishing he would get his act together. This is good fun.”—Publishers Weekly
“Writing with a generous dash of snarky humor, Ripper inventively deploys several popular romance tropes, including enemies-to-lovers and forced proximity, to fresh and captivating effect.”—Booklist

relatable, developed characters
This is a story that will stay with me for a long time. It was nuanced and never over the top with the drama. The narration is marvelous. Only one, personal, complaint: I like more feelings, while reading. I could have had more angst, pining and longing.
