His whole life, Rory has longed to see the Northern Lights.He just never expected his irritating coworker would be there when he did.

Rory will be spending the holidays alone this year. His polycule recently hit a rough patch, and his family cut him off after his transition. With his boss icing him out, work has been the cherry on top of the sh*t cake.

After another awful meeting-where Rory's project gets reassigned to Sanzhar, the annoyingly perfect new guy-Rory finds a brochure in the breakroom: Three days in Fairbanks for the Winter Solstice in a luxurious geodesic dome cabin, full of cozy charm, winter adventure, and the Northern Lights. Frustrated with everything, Rory books a spontaneous vacation to finally see the Aurora Borealis. His PTO request will probably get declined, but he'll be in Alaska by then.

But when he lands, the hotel (more rustic than luxurious) has no record of his reservation. The snow is falling, the sun set hours ago, and to make matters worse, Sanzhar is there to witness his humiliation. Swallowing his pride, Rory accepts Sanzhar's offer to share his cabin. A long weekend of fireside chats, endless nights, and only one bed may turn Rory and Sanzhar from rivals to friends...or more.
