  Learning to ski is hard enough without a Yeti making you weak in the knees. Daphne thought she finally found her family with her wealthy fiancé. So much so that the fact that he’s her professor seems like an unimportant detail. But when he drags her to a snowy monster ski town called Hallow’s Cove, it’s not for romance (or even fun). No, it’s so she can “learn not to embarrass him” during the annual family ski trip. Between the constant corrections and the way he cuts her down in front of people, she doesn’t feel like a bride-to-be so much as a student who’s already flunked the course. Then she crashes—literally—into the arms of Andri, a ridiculously hot yeti ski instructor who actually thinks her wipeouts are cute. Suddenly she’s drinking cocoa without side-eye, laughing until her cheeks hurt, and maybe falling for someone kind with actual warmth under all that fur. Will Daphne stick with the security of the pompous professor, or hit a 180 into the messy, thrilling kind of love ...
