It's been three years since former hockey player Devon Hughes dried out, hung up his skates, and started raising wool sheep. Now he's driving home from Christmas shopping in a snowstorm and happens across a stranded motorist. What kind of monster would he be if he didn't stop?

When the weather turns, Noah Bell is returning to his roots after a short stint in pro hockey, a slightly longer stint in higher education, and a failed relationship. He's convinced he's going to freeze to death in a rest stop on I-75 until a stranger shows up to rescue him. At least if he goes home with this guy, he'll be warm before he can get ax-murdered. Except it turns out he and Devon have more in common than just not being serial killers. If they can get past the panic and sheep calm, maybe this Christmas they'll get their merry on.
