When Fifteen-year-old Elara Winters arrives at her family’s snow-covered farmhouse for Christmas break, she expects cozy fires, hot cocoa, and time with her mom. What she doesn’t expect is spending the week with her mother’s best friend… and her two sons. Theo—the guarded, broody older boy with green eyes and too many secrets—and Miles—the quiet, thoughtful one whose warmth sneaks up on her. As snow piles up outside and tensions rise inside, Elara finds herself pulled in two different directions—toward two very different hearts. This Christmas, love isn’t the only thing hanging in the balance. Sometimes the snow hides more than it covers… Hearts in Halves is a wintry coming-of-age romance about first love, buried feelings, and choosing between comfort and risk.
