Description

He came to close a chapter. She's about to rewrite his whole story.

Luke Everhart has one goal this Christmas: settle his late great-aunt's estate in the picturesque town of Cobourg and get back to his fast-paced life in Toronto. No distractions. No detours. And definitely no falling for small-town charm or cocoa-sipping Christmas magic.

But Cobourg has other plans.

Enter Elysabeth Bennett, holiday enthusiast, and unofficial queen of Christmas cheer. She takes one look at Luke and decides he's exactly the kind of corporate grump her beloved town doesn't need. The feeling is almost mutual, until sparks begin to fly beneath their frosty banter.

When Luke is roped into wearing a period costume for the town's Storybook Stroll, his aunt's favourite holiday tradition, he's convinced things can't get worse. That is, until a snowstorm strands him at Elysabeth's family-run Christmas tree farm with nothing but a dead EV battery and board games to pass the time.

But as the fire crackles and the snow falls, Luke finds himself unexpectedly drawn to the town, to its people, and most of all, to Elysabeth. Suddenly, "home for the holidays" starts to feel a lot more permanent.

A sparkling, enemies-to-lovers Christmas story perfect for fans of festive romance, witty banter, and new beginnings in small towns.
