About this ebook
Avalanche forecaster Theo Halonen only returned to the frozen wilderness of Michigan’s Keweenaw Peninsula for one reason: to bury his grandmother and leave. He spent twelve years outrunning the ghost of his older brother, Nils, who vanished into a solstice blizzard and was never found. Theo believes in hard data, weak layers, and keeping moving.
He doesn’t believe in fated mates. He certainly doesn't believe that the local townspeople are a hidden pack of Finnish-blooded shapeshifters guarding a primal border against the cold.
Then he meets Anders Vaara.
Anders heir to the Hollow's alpha has spent over a decade haunted by Nils's disappearance and chained to pack duty. When an unnatural frost creature strikes and leaves a lethal, spreading rime across Theo’s skin, only one truth becomes clear: the ancient flame holding back the winter horrors is dying. The Hollow demands a sacrifice under the Long Night moon.
To survive, Theo and Anders must navigate a web of ancestral lies, a patriarch desperate to protect his own blood, and the terrifying revelation of where Nils truly went. As the solstice approaches, survival means defying pack law and confronting the one thing more dangerous than the freezing dark choosing to love without armor.
A high-stakes, atmospheric MM paranormal holiday romance rich in Finnish folklore, forced proximity, small-town secrets, and an undeniable fated-mates bond.
