The minute the first snowball hit him, Seb had his usual, instinctive response to anything unexpected or unwelcome—to turn and yell first, then give whoever had attacked him the trademark Sebastian glare until he or she went away. Then Frankie had giggled, and he’d realised that his usual instincts were what had got him into this mess in the first place.

Seb turned and saw his new brother and his girlfriend waiting for his reaction. It also didn’t escape his notice that Leo had another snowball packed down in his hand, ready to attack.

This was war, then.

‘Throw one back, Papà! Throw another snowball!’ Frankie cried, and Seb laughed—sudden and true and deep. Pure instinct and happiness.

When had he last laughed like that? Had he ever?

He couldn’t remember. Which probably said more than it didn’t.

So Seb bent down and made snowballs for his son to throw at his uncle, and wondered how it had taken him thirty-two years to find this kind of contentment.

Wondered how he could keep it now that he had.

The afternoon fell into a flurry of snow attacks and laughter, Anissa abandoning Leo to assist Seb and Frankie in their fight. Seb hoisted his son onto his shoulders, barely even feeling the snowballs Leo tossed at him—obviously, Uncle Leo would never throw them at Frankie, but Seb was perfectly fair game.

Somewhere in between flying snowballs Seb turned towards the chalet and saw Maria and Noemi watching them, both smiling. And then all he saw was Maria’s eyes, and the hope that flared in them.

He was doing something right. But he knew, in a sudden blinding flash like sunlight on ice, it wasn’t going to be enough.

He could meet every target in her business plan, achieve every goal she set him. But it still wouldn’t be enough.

Because he didn’t want a business partnership. He wanted a marriage, a family. A connection.

And even he knew that took more than a signed contract.

But how did he convince Maria of that?
