**From the USA Today bestselling author of The Summer Cottage
"A beautifully written story about second chances. Fans of women's
fiction won't be able to put this down." --Publishers Weekly**
The forecast is calling for a reluctant homecoming and regrettable
decisions with a strong chance of romance...
When Sonny Dunes, a SoCal meteorologist whose job is all sunshine and
seventy-two-degree days, is replaced by a virtual meteorologist that
will never age, gain weight or renegotiate its contract, the only
station willing to give the fifty-year-old another shot is the very
place Sonny's been avoiding since the day she left for college--her
northern Michigan hometown.
Sonny grudgingly returns to the long, cold, snowy winters of her
childhood...with the added humiliation of moving back in with her
mother. Not quite an outsider but no longer a local, Sonny finds her
past blindsiding her everywhere: from the high school friends she
ghosted, to the former journalism classmate and mortal frenemy who's now
her boss, to, most keenly, the death years ago of her younger sister,
who loved the snow.
To distract herself from the memories she's spent her life trying to
outrun, Sonny throws herself headfirst into covering every small-town
winter event to woo a new audience, made more bearable by a handsome
widower with optimism to spare. But with someone trying to undermine her
efforts to rebuild her career, Sonny must make peace with who she used
to be and allow her heart to thaw if she's ever going to find a place
she can truly call home.
