For meticulous wedding planner Maya Hayes, a canceled flight on Christmas Eve isn't just an inconvenience-it's a catastrophe. Her entire life is a fortress of color-coded schedules and flawless execution, a carefully constructed defense against the messy chaos of love she swore off years ago. Her job is to create fairy tales for others; her own, however, has been indefinitely postponed. Now, stranded at Chicago O'Hare, the biggest wedding of her career hangs in the balance, and her legendary control is slipping.
The last thing she needs is a charming, infuriatingly carefree stranger named Sam stealing the last power outlet. He's her opposite in every way-spontaneous, witty, and carrying a secret weight behind his easy smile. He's a distraction she can't afford.
But when a historic blizzard shuts down the entire city, trapping them together for twenty-four hours, their initial annoyance sparks into an unexpected and electrifying connection. In the quiet, forgotten corners of the deserted airport, they share secrets they've never told anyone, laughter that feels dangerously real, and a moment of intense intimacy that threatens to shatter Maya's carefully constructed walls. For the first time in years, she feels seen.
Maya believes she's found a kindred spirit, a fellow soul lost in the storm. But the truth is far more dangerous.
Sam isn't just a charming stranger. He's Samuel Larson. The groom from the high-profile, career-making wedding she is desperately trying to salvage. And he's not just delayed-he's running away from the very altar she's being paid to prepare.
Suddenly, the man who feels like her destiny is the one man who can destroy her future. Every shared secret is now a liability, every stolen glance a breach of contract. She is the planner, paid to deliver the perfect day. He is the groom, determined to escape it. And they are trapped, with only their impossible connection and the ticking clock of the first flight out.
As the snow thaws and the world comes rushing back, Maya must make a choice. Will she do her job and deliver the groom to his bride, saving the career she fought so hard to build? Or will she listen to her heart and risk everything for a man whose biggest secret is himself?
