Madeline Sage has entirely lost who she is after her brother and best friend's passing. She's an aunt taking care of their two kids, a nursing student, and a part-time cleaner at a ski lodge. Spending a majority of her time helping someone else, she's astray from who she was before the accident. Her nagging mother, incapable of helping with the kids, insists the one thing missing from Madeline's hectic life is a man. So Madeline seeks help from the most chaotic one she knows: her nephew's coach. In hopes of easing her mother's nerves about providing for the kids, Madeline needs a boyfriend. Even if it's a fake one.

Unfortunately, Cooper Graves knows all too well what he is. In an attempt to rectify his disorderly past and save his family ski lodge, he agrees to be interviewed by a well-known family magazine. The article will bring the lodge plenty of new exposure on its upcoming winter events. All he's missing is a wife and kids.

Madeline needs a fake boyfriend. Cooper needs a fake family. Their newfound friendship quickly blurs into something entirely real. Only he's not fit for 'uncle-hood', and she can't find a place in her heart or her schedule to add one more person to her circle of loved ones. Snowed under their complications, Madeline and Cooper are destined to find out if love is enough to overcome tragedies of the past.
