Snow Furries (Alpine Grove Romantic Comedy) by Daffron, collection Susan C. NEUF

After a life-altering setback destroys Rebecca Mackenzies career, she jumps at the chance to start over as a real estate appraisal trainee in her uncles office. Although a job change had been in order, being the new kid did have some downsides, including being forced to do a rush appraisal in the small town of Alpine Grove over Thanksgiving weekend.

Map reading has never been her strong suit, and Beccas navigational skills are pushed to the limit in a town that doesnt believe in road signs. When the supposed-to-be flurries turn out to be a record-setting blizzard, the trip literally goes downhill after Beccas car slides nose-down off the road into a ditch. Accompanied collection by his huge mountain dog, a scruffy stranger wearing a massive coat with dozens of pockets drags Becca to safety. In the darkness of a small log cabin in the woods, Becca confesses far too many secrets to Jack Sheridan. Sure, if shed known shed end up trapped in the middle of nowhere with a guy named Jack, she never would have watched that scary movie. But maybe Jack isnt such a dull boy after all.
