A heartwarming holiday romance with small town charm and Christmas cheer, perfect for reading by the fireside as you curl up under a cozy blanket. Mindy Harvey has a wonderful life in Snowy Pine Ridge. With good friends, a successful bakery, and the loyal company of her dog Gus, she has everything she needs. Well… almost. The only thing that’s missing is someone to share it all with, but after several lackluster dates, she’s decided not to settle for anything less than true love. So she’s shocked when the only man she’s ever loved — and the man who broke her heart — appears in Snowy Pine Ridge just before Christmas. Noah Henderson, a driven businessman with a demanding schedule, has inherited a large parcel of land in town after his aunt’s passing. He plans to develop the land into an industrial complex, and his arrival stirs up a storm of resistance from the townspeople who cherish their close-knit community. Fortunately, they have one chance to change Noah’s mind. A stipulation in his aunt’s will requires him to get to know the town before he does anything with the land he’s inherited — so Mindy reluctantly volunteers to be his tour guide. Still nursing the hurts of the past, she expects to hate every minute of their time together. But as she and Noah attend the tree lighting festival, partner up for a very competitive gingerbread house contest, and even help with a holiday marriage proposal, she starts to see a new side of the man who once held her heart. As a spark reignites between them, she finds herself wanting to give love a second chance. But will this chapter end the same way the last one did? Or can Mindy and Noah find a way to rewrite their story?
