Now, as a single mother, she’s determined to build a life with her daughter—one that doesn’t rely on the frailty of trust. But when a rare opportunity for a snowy Christmas in July arises in the breathtaking mountains of Lesotho, Hannah faces a choice: risk her heart again or guard it from more heartbreak. Henri thought he’d left the desire for a family behind him. After moving to Johannesburg for work, he’s convinced that love and connection are things of the past. But when he invites Hannah on a work trip to the mountains, long-buried feelings begin to stir, rekindling hope for a future he thought he'd given up on.
