At 33, Coy Davidson is a beautiful blonde with a southern accent and a successful practice as a physician assistant. She has a comfortable home, good friends, and a loving family. She's also a widow, carrying a burden of responsibility for her wife's untimely death. She lost her footing that day, gave up her dream to become a doctor, and swore off of relationships. Now, three years later, she's ready to turn her life on end to regain what she's lost.

At 29, Coby O'Brien is a woman with secrets. She's estranged from her family, a recovering alcoholic who feels like she's unlovable. When she loses her job as a heavy equipment operator, she'll accept one in Antarctica that will cause her path to cross with Coy's, forcing her to step outside her comfort zone. Having caught next to no breaks in life, it could turn out to be her break of a lifetime—if only she can find the courage to do what she's been afraid to do since she was a girl.

Set against the backdrop of twinkling Christmas lights, Coy and Coby must tap into courage before they can seize their chance at love.
