In the heart of Colorado's snowy peaks, a contractual agreement could shield two hearts from the cold.

Dr. Raymond Maddern III, the esteemed head of traumatology at St. Helen's University Hospital in Vail, is as skilled in surgery as he is guarded in life. With a facade as impenetrable as the armor of his emotional walls, Maddern navigates his days with clinical precision, until a misunderstood encounter with Livia Carter disrupts his sterile routine. Mistaken identity leads to an unexpected proposal, and suddenly, the doctor who swore off emotional entanglements is crafting a contract for marriage.

Livia Carter's life is a precarious juggling act. Fleeing from a toxic past with her little daughter, Lilly, in tow, she's desperate for stability but too proud to ask for help.
