When a blizzard strands ambitious event planner Maya Hart at the secluded Alpine Inn just days before Christmas, she expects a quiet night of spreadsheets and hot cocoa—not a chance encounter with the inn’s enigmatic owner, Luca Moretti. Luca, a former ski‑champion turned chef, is determined to revive his family’s fading legacy, and the only way to attract guests is to host a once‑in‑a‑lifetime holiday gala.
