About this listen
Maeve Calder has exactly one plan: close up The Howl, beat the freak Oklahoma snowstorm home, and spend the night wrapped in a fuzzy blanket and a filthy paperback.
Then a stranded stranger barrels through her door.
Graham Mercer is tall, tense, and built from control and caffeine. A college basketball coach racing toward the Sweet Sixteen. A man with too much pressure on his shoulders and zero patience for detours.
The highway shuts down.
The power goes out.
And the storm traps them inside her bar.
No exits.
No witnesses.
Nowhere to hide from the heat snapping between them.
Maeve is guarded. For good reason. Her walls are deliberate, reinforced, and not up for negotiation. But Graham—steady, watchful—can't ignore the pull toward her. Her defiance dares him closer. Something inside him morphs from curiosity to protectiveness in a heartbeat.
He doesn't understand it. He just knows he wants it.
As candlelight replaces electricity, the banter softens, the truths turn braver, and the space between them shrinks until it feels less accidental and more inevitable.
Sometimes the fiercest storms don't destroy you.
Sometimes they deliver exactly who you've been waiting for, and lead you home.

“He’s waiting for me, not taking it. Something in me, something wild and aching and starving for touch, leans in and decides just this once. I want to feel more than I want to be safe.”
‘Maeve is a bartender closing up for the night, just like any other night, except for the freak snowstorm raging outside. All she wants to do is go home and snuggle in with a filthy book. That is until Graham shows up, and the warnings that it’s too unsafe to go outside blow up their phones, and these two strangers are stuck together.’
This was such a fantastic listen. From the off, it has you hook, line and sinker. Cedar James did a brilliant job with the hard topics she broached. Rachel Dane is a new narrator for me, and she brought Maeve to life fantastically. You could hear the guard in her tone loosen the more she chatted with Graham, played by Lucas Troy. Graham was a great listener, and when he spoke, it was impactful for Maeve, who needed to hear what he said. Lucas normally narrates very morally grey men, but with Graham, he really showed the range he has. He was very soft in this, and that’s made me love him more! These characters have me in a chokehold with how emotionally vulnerable they were with each other. Also, the spice in this is off the charts!
An absolutely fabulous listen and for a short story, very impactful. If you enjoy forced proximity, one bed, spice, and dual POV, then this is for you!
Emotional and Spicy as hell!
