An unexpected inheritance. A pesky clause in the will. And 25 days to avoid falling in love....
Cassie Hayward hates Christmas. Especially this year.
No job. Flat broke. And an ex most definitely on the naughty list.
The unexpected inheritance of a charming Victorian cottage in the small town of Poppy Creek may be the Christmas miracle Cassie needs.
Except for one itty-bitty problem: a clause in the will.
To inherit the house, Cassie must complete a series of festive tasks every day in December leading up to Christmas. All overseen by the handsome, Christmas-loving lawyer Luke Davis.
Luke is as strong and steady as the bespoke furniture he crafts as a hobby. He has to be. Stepping into his late father's shoes as the town lawyer comes with a sleigh full of responsibilities. Which means the captivating stranger collecting her inheritance is a distraction he can't afford.
As the unlikely pair complete the daily tasks, fighting their attraction becomes more futile than putting jolly ole St. Nick on a diet. But when someone from Cassie's past reappears with the offer of a lifetime, Cassie will have to choose between love and the life she thought she wanted.

Sometimes it takes starting over to discover who we really are...
Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, forced to choose between who you used to be and who you want to be?
And whichever path you choose will wind up hurting someone you love?
Well, if you haven't, I can tell you firsthand: it's the worst.
But it's exactly where I find myself. In New York, the city of endless possibilities, faced with an impossible choice. Kinda like deciding between Wicked and Hamilton on opening night, except the wrong decision could ruin your life.
And I have no idea what to do.
It all started three months ago, with a friendly family competition, decade-old bucket list, and a long overdue trek across the country.
But as I checked off tasks like learning to cook French cuisine (pro tip: it helps if you actually turn the oven on) and running a marathon (which is way longer than I thought), something remarkable happened.
I discovered skills and strengths I never knew existed, gained the respect I'd once deemed undeserved, and ditched my not-so-endearing nickname-Quincy The Quitter Carmichael.
I also reconnected with my childhood best friend's older brother-who's still swoon-level cute, by the way-and let's just say, Nora Ephron would be proud.
But if I've learned anything from binge-watching romantic comedies, it's that most happily ever afters come with a price. And not usually the one you expect.
So, here I am, torn between family and friendship, past and present, love and livelihood. And I could really use some advice.
Sincerely,
Neurotic in New York

Savor the spirit of Christmas in this sweet, small-town romance that's cozier than a warm cup of hot cocoa.
Frank Barrie hated Christmas. Candy canes made him cringe. Santa Clause made him shudder. And tinsel... don't even get him started on the lowliest of holiday decorations.
But everything changed when Cassie Hayward, a newcomer to Poppy Creek, barged into his life and became the granddaughter he never knew he needed.
Now, thanks to Cassie's kindhearted meddling, he's married to the sweetest, smartest woman whose only shortcoming is that she picked him-a crotchety old hermit-to be her not-so-better half.
But despite his Scrooge-like past, he's determined to give his wife, Beverly, the best Christmas ever. Which is why he goes against his introverted instincts and welcomes Nate Henderson-a young veteran-to their home for the holidays, just like Bevy's favorite movie, Christmas in Connecticut.
Little does he realize his wife has already invited her niece, Juliet Klein-an aspiring author in need of a secluded writer's retreat-to stay with them over the holidays.
To make matters worse, the merry mix-up gives his wife an idea.
The only thing more outside Frank's comfort zone than Christmas cheer is matchmaking. Especially when the potential lovebirds go together like oil and eggnog.
Although he'd do anything for his Bevy, it's going to take a lot more than mistletoe to bring the unlikely pair together.
It's going to take a Christmas miracle.
And the help of a few friends....
Fall in love with the idyllic town of Poppy Creek in this festive, feel-good romance sure to fill your heart with all the warmth and magic of Christmas.

Abigail Preston never expected to own an inn. Then again, she never thought she'd become a foster mom or fall for her late husband's best friend, either.
As soon as the pieces of her complicated life start falling into place, two unexpected visitors arrive, threatening to undo everything.
The only guest at the inn she's happy to see is her best friend, Nadia.
Fresh off a public breakup, Nadia Chopra can't wait to move on. Only this time, she'll do it right. By enlisting the help of her matchmaker aunt.
With so many eligible men, why can't she stop thinking about Evan Blake-a man who loves to surf and make sweets, but who's the furthest thing from a perfect match?
Evan Blake is too focused on continuing his mother's saltwater taffy legacy to date. And after what happened the last time he tried, he doesn't have much interest, anyway. But a confident, dark-haired beauty who always speaks her mind has his heart racing more than a twenty-foot wave.

When the magic of the season meddles with their Scrooge-like plan, the terms of their agreement prove easier said than done.
