Frederico Cerkev is a man of silence and stone, a grieving widower raising his daughter in a castle that feels like a tomb. The law says he must marry by New Year’s Eve, or his daughter’s future—and his family’s legacy—will be stripped away. Miya Morales arrives in the middle of a snowstorm, a woman looking for a fresh start who finds herself in a business arrangement. She’s supposed to be his temporary wife, a mother figure for a child who has forgotten how to smile. But as the holidays approach, Frederico’s frozen heart begins to thaw under Miya’s warmth.
