Books like Taken by surprise by Kenna White
Snow blankets the Aspen cabin Leigh Insley rarely visits, prompting her to consider selling the retreat she has long neglected. A career in corporate law has left her little time for the respite it offers. Nearby, Margo Tosch, a lifelong skier who now works as a snowplow driver, ski instructor, and mountain shopkeeper, lives with her daughter in the remote high‑mountain air. Their paths collide, and though Leigh assumes she shares nothing in common with the rustic mountain woman, the isolated setting and harsh winter reveal that even the most “frosty” hearts can be taken by surprise.
