Dancing Through the Seasons

After a devastating mission gone wrong, Navy SEAL James "Bucky" Barnes returns to civilian life a broken man. His elite team-his brothers-were lost in a fiery explosion that also claimed his left arm. Now, tucked away in the snow-covered mountain town of Pineford, James spends his days trying to find purpose and avoiding the memories that haunt him.

Natalia Romanova was born to dance-but not to belong. Raised by the strict owner of a prestigious ballet academy who adopted her for her talent, Natalia's entire life has been pirouettes, pressure, and perfection. When she fails to land a coveted spot in a major ballet company, she's punished with a last-minute assignment: perform as Clara in The Nutcracker... in the middle of nowhere.

Thrown together in a town that feels frozen in time, James and Natalia couldn't be more different. He's grounded by loss. She's desperate to fly. But as falling snow blankets the quiet streets of Pineford, a hesitant friendship begins to warm into something deeper-something that could melt even the coldest fears.

Together, they might just find that healing isn't about forgetting the past, but learning to dance with it.
