As Long as You Stay Down K L Hall

It's the time of year when family is cherished, gifts are exchanged, and memories are made. Yet, when a snowstorm grounds all outgoing flights, Aris finds herself confined within the four walls of her apartment for the holidays. In an attempt to savor the last ounce of holiday spirit she has left, she decides to order in and submerge herself in a holiday movie marathon. A simple knock on her door sets the rest of her night in motion when she finds herself face to face with a handsome delivery driver. Moving off vibes and impulse alone, she invites him in from the cold. As the night unfolds, the chemistry between them becomes powerful enough to devour them whole, but the secret he's hiding could easily extinguish the flames. She soon learns that their encounter wasn't by chance. In fact, she's the only thing standing in between him and the one thing he's been waiting seven years to reconnect with. When the truth is disclosed, he offers her something that could change the course of her mundane life forever. But at what cost? In the end, the cold winter wind just may blow her down a path she doesn't want to go, but escaping just may not be so easy. This is a novella.
