When her startup starts to crumble, Emery Cole has one last shot a private Christmas Eve meeting with Lucian Vale, the reclusive billionaire investor known for deals as ruthless as they are brilliant. His terms are never easy. His interest, even harder to read.

A snowstorm traps them in his remote mountain estate, turning business into something far less predictable. Emery’s sharp tongue and quiet resolve pull Lucian off balance, and her fire stirs a part of him he thought long gone. For a man who built an empire on control, losing it to her feels dangerously close to freedom.

But Emery isn’t here to be saved. She’s fought too hard to stand on her own, even if walking away means leaving behind the man who sees her too clearly.

Outside, the world is silent under the snow. Inside, two relentless hearts weigh what power can’t buy.

In the end, is love a risk or the only deal worth making?

In this book, that spark ignites a story of power, temptation, and the kind of love that only Christmas can awaken.

Five billionaires. Five winter nights that leave nothing the same. The Snowfall Affairs series weaves together desire, power, and the quiet magic of Christmas. From candlelit penthouses to snowed-in lodges, each story peels back the polished surface of wealth to reveal what warmth still lives beneath. Every book stands on its own, yet together they tell a story of ambition undone by affection, and love that feels sharper in the cold.

When the snow falls, who will let their heart thaw first?
