Snow, a hunting lodge, and a flight—both to and from—love.
Music composer Jesse Parrish has a dream contract! He’s been signed to write the soundtrack for a film with award potential. This one job could make his whole career. Twelve themes, all due to the producer at Christmas—but he’s completely blocked. He doesn’t have a single theme, let alone twelve.
He needs to get out of Vancouver and somewhere he can think.
Aspiring private pilot Mattie Daines has been crushing on Jesse since before he started dating Mattie’s older sister. His music makes her heart sing—but what kind of creep-o falls in love with her sister’s boyfriend? That’s half the reason she’s been working as an outdoors guide anywhere but Vancouver for the past couple of years.
When Mattie hears that Jesse is desperate for a private plane to take him to a friend’s mountain lodge, she leaps at the chance, if only to prove that she can be around him without her knees going weak.
Mattie whisks Jesse off to the mountains in her plane, but when bad weather threatens the flight, will this dangerous plane ride also threaten Mattie’s firm resolve not to let feelings for Jesse back into her life?
Rating: Mild. Mild kissing; mild (nonsexual) violence or horror.

About Jennifer Griffith
Jennifer is a wife and a mom of five weathering the chaos by writing escapist fiction. Jennifer has no plans to write the Great American Novel. She’d rather compose what someone would read on a rainy afternoon with a cup of cocoa, or sitting on a beach chair while the waves crash. Light, frothy, gone.
This is the third book in the series. Each book was very different from the other story lines. This one added a little mysterious element that I didn’t figure out until the reveal. Each of the main characters had artistic gifts and insights that were curious to read about. I’ve never experienced anything like they do, like hearing the music in his head from some experience with a person or nature or knowing nature so well to know where to go to find the music. So that was intriguing.
The story is much about relationships and how people experience things differently. And people have their own filters that cause them to see things in one way that is not necessarily an accurate view. That is how siblings might remember growing up in the same household in very different ways.
The story takes place at Christmastime but felt more wintery than Christmasy to me, probably because more of the story was spent noting the winter setting than was spent on Christmas itself as they are tucked away in a Canadian cabin with no contact with the outside world for most of the time.
No sex, language or violence
