Because the longer it snows, the deeper they fall in love, and all they want for Christmas is each other. But as the northwinds blow and guards come down, Frankie and Marcus find they have a lot more in common than they don't. Marcus Gardner wasn't always a lumberjack-once a high-powered Minneapolis lawyer, he's come home to Logan to lick his wounds, not play with a sassy city twink who might as well have stepped directly out of his past.

Stylist Frankie Blackburn never meant to get lost in Logan, Minnesota, but his malfunctioning GPS felt otherwise, and a record-breaking snowfall ensures he won't be heading back to Minneapolis anytime soon.
