Maya Chen has spent three years perfecting her professional armor… until a snowstorm traps her with the one woman who sees straight through it.

Ambitious strategist Maya and chaotic creative director Sloane Wilder have been locked in a cold war since the day they met. Every meeting is a battlefield. Every pitch, a power struggle. Their colleagues take bets on who'll snap first.

Then a winter storm strands them at a remote mountain inn with one room. One bed. And nowhere left to hide.

Three days of forced proximity unravel years of denial. Maya discovers Sloane's carefree confidence masks deep wounds. Sloane learns Maya's perfectionism is armor against a world that demands she prove her worth twice over. Between snowshoe walks and whispered confessions, hatred transforms into something far more dangerous: need.

But the snow globe shatters when they return to reality. Maya, terrified of being seen, starts building walls. Sloane, who's survived closeted love before, refuses to be anyone's secret again. As Maya faces the choice between the safe life she's built and the messy, terrifying love she's found, one question remains.

Can she be brave enough to choose herself… and Sloane before she loses them both?
