Ava Monroe is running—from her past, from her mistakes, and from a life she no longer recognizes. When her truck skids off a snowy mountain road, leaving her stranded in the middle of a fierce storm, she’s forced to confront her deepest fears. Alone, freezing, and with her beloved dog Millie missing, Ava fears she’s reached the end of the road—until a rugged stranger comes to her rescue. Jack Sullivan, a former deputy with scars of his own, pulls Ava from the wreckage and offers her refuge in his cabin. While the storm rages outside, Ava and Jack find themselves drawn to one another, despite the walls they’ve both built. But Ava is hiding a secret—one she’s not ready to share, especially with someone like Jack, who seems to see right through her. As they search for Millie and wait out the storm, the tight-knit community of Jubilee comes together to offer their support. Clemmy, the friendly bookstore owner, and Brady, Jack’s close friend, show that in Jubilee, no one is left to face the storm alone. But as Ava struggles with whether to stay in this new life she’s found, the secret she’s hiding threatens to push her back into the shadows. Blue Ridge Breakdown is a story of survival, second chances, and the power of community. In the heart of a snowstorm, Ava and Jack discover that sometimes the hardest storms to weather are the ones within.
