Snowstorms & Schnapps

Sydney Marsh

He's a mountain man who lives off the grid. She's a city girl addicted to her phone. Can a blizzard and a bottle of schnapps spark a love that will last beyond the storm?

I’m snowed in, completely at the mercy of a mountain man with an infuriatingly charming grin—and a body built to make a woman forget why she swore off distractions.

Jake makes survival look effortless. Meanwhile, I’m struggling with the basics—like keeping the fire going and pretending I don’t notice the way he watches me. The power’s out, the roads are buried, and I have no choice but to rely on him.

I didn’t come here to get tangled up in a man like him. I came for solitude, a break from the relentless pressure of my life. But now I’m in his cabin, wearing his clothes, standing too close to the kind of temptation I can’t afford.

The storm won’t last forever. Soon, I’ll go back to my deadlines, my perfectly controlled world—where men like Jake don’t exist.

But until then…

I have nowhere to run. No way to resist.

And no choice but to face the one thing I wasn’t prepared for.

Him.

Snowstorms & Schnapps is a snowed-in, forced proximity romance where a grumpy mountain man and an emotionally burnt-out city girl find themselves stranded in a remote cabin.
