❄️ SOMETIMES THE COLDEST WINTERS HIDE THE WARMEST HEARTS. ❄️

★★★★★ "Clara's story broke me and healed me all at once. The writing is beautiful, and Leo is the quiet hero we all dream of." - Reader Review

I'm Clara Moreau, Professional Ballerina-or at least, I used to be. That title was my anthem, my triumph. One wrong step during Swan Lake in Berlin, and everything shattered. My world blurred on stage, in front of everyone. Broken doll feels more accurate now.

Now I'm stranded in Havenwood. Population: too small for my big-city tastes, and even smaller for my ballerina dreams. They call it peaceful, a retreat. To me, peace feels like a cruel joke when my ankle aches with every snowflake.

Then there's Leo Bellini. He runs the local bookstore, quiet and withdrawn. Rumor is, he's a recluse after heartbreak turned his life upside down.

This loft above his bookstore wasn't part of any plan. Yet surrounded by the snow, the silence, and shelves full of stories, it feels like the fragile start of something new.

Leo's eyes don't just see the broken dancer. They see me. And maybe, just maybe, Havenwood isn't a detour at all.

But one question lingers like a whisper in the winter air: Can a broken swan ever truly fly again? ❄️💕
