Why we love this
  • Signature Ali Hazelwood: If you love her witty, STEM-focused romances, this novella set in the video game design world is an absolute must-read. It is packed with her trademark banter, awkward charm, and serious heat.
  • The Ultimate "Snowed In" Trope: Being trapped in a remote mountain lodge during a wintery retreat is the perfect recipe for forced proximity. Watching the snow pile up while the tension between Viola and Jesse boils over is incredibly satisfying.
  • Workplace Enemies to Lovers: Jesse and Viola are co-leads on a dream project, but Jesse has spent years acting like her archnemesis. The transition from workplace hostility to uncovering his true feelings is a fantastic, fast-paced ride.
  • Bite-Sized but Spicy: As a novella, it is a quick, bingeable read that doesn't skimp on the emotional connection or the spice. It is the perfect weekend escape!
  • Exclusive Print Bonus: This print edition includes an all-new bonus chapter, making it an essential pickup even for readers who have already devoured the ebook.

What you are in for

Viola Bowen has the chance of a lifetime: to design a video game based on her all-time favorite book series. The only problem? Her colead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, aka her archnemesis. Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her–and Viola has no idea why.

When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can’t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you.

But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there’s more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.
