Say You Won't Go — Heidi McCahan

A collision on the ski slopes of Alaska changes the trajectory of two wounded souls ... just in time for Christmas. If only they weren't too broken to embrace their shot at redemption. Adrenaline junkie and former reality TV star Jeremy Tully longs to forget the woman who left him with a tattered heart. More than anything, he wants to atone for his wrongs and break free from the anxiety that holds him hostage. Professional snowboarder Alyssa Huard arrives in Emerald Cove, reeling from a humiliating betrayal, and desperate to escape the social media firestorm sidelining her career. When she collides with Jeremy on the ski slope, she instantly despises him, and he's not thrilled about a sassy, self-absorbed athlete crashing into his world, either. While filming a snowboard commercial less than a week before Christmas, Jeremy and Alyssa are trapped in the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness, and she is forced to rely on him. Despite warning signs that this woman is all wrong for him, Jeremy is tired of playing it safe. Alyssa begins to trust him, but can their fragile bond survive when they're confronted by their pasts?
