Plot Summary of Snowbound
"SNOWBOUND for a weekend at her house with Michael, a big-city businessman, Cynthia, a lonely small-town woman, takes a chance and makes love with him - her first time. Instead of creating tender memories to savour, the weekend turns into a nightmare when he abruptly leaves her house without a word.

In love with him, she feels deeply hurt and a failure at lovemaking. Never expecting to see him again, she retreats into long hours of work expanding her dress-design company that meets with success.

Will she believe Michael when he sneaks back into her life and tries to tell her he loves her?

Or will Cynthia be the one to leave this time when she learns the truth of what he has done and why?
"
