***

A slow-burn romance fifteen years in the making...

Hattie has spent half her life secretly crushing on Freddie – her best friend Sam''s irresistibly gorgeous older brother. But Freddie? He''s barely spared a glance for Hattie, the girl Sam befriended one fateful New Years'' Eve when they discovered they were birthday twins.

Fast-forward to now: Hattie finds herself single for the first time in years – just before the holidays. Enter Sam, who, in classic best-friend fashion, whisks her away to a remote cabin in the Forest of Dean to cheer her up. Snowy woodland views? Check. A crackling fire and a steamy hot tub? Check. Zero cell service, ravenous wild boars, and an incoming snowstorm of apocalyptic proportions? Also check.

And to make matters even more intense, Freddie joins them, unexpectedly. Still infuriatingly gorgeous, and still ridiculously off-limits. Except this time, he''s actually noticing Hattie. But then again, maybe he''s been noticing her all along.

Fifteen years of longing. One night to change everything. This New Year''s Eve, they''re playing with fire.
