Surviving December

After eight years, Chase Rogan still battles with the tormenting reality of a past he can't seem to leave behind. A past he ran from, sure to never return. A past that ripped away the one person he trusted most. As another cold midwestern December sets in, Chase succumbs to the reality that the pain and resentment he harbors may prevent him from ever trusting again, forcing him to fail at every relationship he gives a chance - until he meets Alaina Brooks.

With an equally broken past, Alaina comes face-to-face with her own harsh realities. Amidst struggles to understand why she clings to a relationship that seems to be taking a turn for the worst, her encounter with Chase proves to be much more than happenstance.

With Chase forced to come to Alaina's rescue more than once, they both begin to question what it all means. Has fate drawn them together? Is this meant to be, or simply something they've been hoping for? With their connection growing undeniably stronger each time they're together, they learn to lean on each other as they revisit the parts of their pasts that may be holding them from their futures.
