For years, Jennifer Ryder had gone to her family's cottage on Moosehead Lake in Maine for Christmas. After Jenny's divorce, her girls are going to her ex's house for Christmas and Jenny decides to spend Christmas alone at the cottage, even though she hasn't been in years. What she doesn't plan for is a stray dog showing up on her door. It doesn't take long for his owner to come looking him and what Jenny finds is that the boy across the lake that she used to have a crush on is not a boy anymore. Matthew Jones was that boy across the lake that was always having fun and making people laugh. He was popular among the young people who gathered at Moosehead Lake in the summer and Jenny worshipped him from afar. Two years younger than he was, she was jealous of the girls that draped themselves over him and wished she could be so daring. Every summer, Jenny looked forward to seeing him. Now, he is in the cottage with her...alone....in the middle of a blizzard...and he's ready to do something about her girlhood crush.
