Charley and Simon don’t get a angst free HEA in this second chance romance. Their first go round was broken up by malevolent interfering forces and the second go around is not without its own hurdles. With the odds of success seemingly against them, Simon the sweet professor and Charley the snarky museum curator fight for their happiness. All the while their found family interferes and meddles as much as possible, a snow storm has them trapped in a secluded “cabin” which is really a huge villa and past hurts rise again.

This is a lovely read with plenty of heat, some angst and a great cast of main and secondary characters. I laughed, felt a bit sad and smiled at the end.
