Sublimate by Jamie Bennett

What is that?
When Vivienne O’Keeffe looks through the snow and darkness, she sees something moving along the side of the road. Is it a ghost from the nearby graveyard? A revenant? A shade? She has never actually run into one of those and fortunately, this is just another human, the same as she is—except it turns out that Vivi and this man aren’t very similar at all.
Nolan Whitaker comes from a family that has been established in northern Michigan for eons and they’ve been successful for just as long. And Vivi? Her mom is somewhere unknown, her sister is probably in prison, and her dad is a guy who might be named “Ron” (but it’s a best-guess situation). She’s also struggling with a whole lot of crapola that feels unsolvable, like exes and other problems from the past that are really messing with her present.
Nolan has everything: a house, a car that isn’t glued and taped together, a college degree, and even an airplane! But that night on the road, when she sees him alone in the snow, she saves him—and he needs her. Despite his family history, his plane, and all the rest of his stuff, he’s missing some essentials, like real connections with his fellow humans. Vivi has been missing out too, and now? They have a chance to find happiness together.
If family, paperwork, and bears don’t get in their way…
