When Alpha CEO Damon Hale shows up at a rundown mountain lodge, he's ready to sign the demolition order and move on. No hesitation. No backward glance. But one omega refuses to step aside. Finn Rivers has kept the aging lodge alive for years, and he won't let a stranger bulldoze the last place that feels like his. Then a winter storm hits, locking them in together.
Damon expects pushback he doesn't expect Finn's steady warmth or the quiet pull he feels every time they cross paths. And Finn, focused on protecting the lodge, can't ignore the man who threatens it yet keeps revealing small, disarming moments: a fire stoked without being asked, a comment that lands softer than expected. Slowly, something shifts.
As Christmas approaches, the lodge fills with families, string lights, and the kind of memories Finn won't let die. Damon watches it all, caught between corporate orders and a desire he can't file away.
With the demolition date closing in, they both face a decision: hold tight to the lives they built, or step toward something neither planned for.
When the snow finally settles, which future will Damon choose?
