On the longest night of the year, Jenny Majesky loses everything in a devastating house fire. But among the ashes she finds an unusual treasure hidden amid her grandfather's belongings, one that starts her on a search for the truth, and on a path toward a life that she never imagined. The Winter Lodge, a remote cabin owned by her half sister on the shores of Willow Lake, becomes a safe refuge for Jenny, where she and local police chief Rourke McKnight try to sort out the mysteries revealed by the fire.
But when a blizzard traps them together, Jenny, accustomed to the safe predictability of running the family bakery, suddenly doesn't feel so secure. For even as Rourke shelters her from the storm outside, she knows her heart is at risk. Now, following her dreams might mean walking away from her one chance at love.

“With the ease of a master,
Wiggs introduces complicated, flesh-and-blood characters into her
idyllic but identifiable smalltown setting, sets in motion a
refreshingly honest romance, resolves old issues and even finds room for
a little mystery. The result is as appealing as the heroine’s Polish
Apple Strudel, the recipe for which is thankfully included.”
