Publisher's Synopsis
When driven event planner Emily Carter returns to her charming hometown of Pinewood Hollow to save the town's beloved Christmas Gala, she's determined to pull off a flawless holiday season. But her plans hit a snag when she's paired with Nathan Reid, a newcomer with a mysterious past and a knack for getting under her skin.
Emily's perfectionism clashes with Nathan's laid-back attitude, and their constant bickering becomes the talk of the town. But as unexpected setbacks-and a series of suspicious sabotages-threaten the gala, Emily and Nathan are forced to work together to save it. Along the way, their rivalry melts into something deeper, sparking a connection neither of them anticipated.
Amid the magic of mistletoe, snowball fights, and twinkling lights, Emily discovers there's more to Nathan than meets the eye-and more to herself than she ever realized. But when a secret from Nathan's past threatens to unravel their budding romance, Emily must decide if she's willing to take a leap of faith for love.
With the help of their quirky neighbors, a supportive community, and the magic of Christmas, Emily and Nathan might just find the greatest gift of all-a love worth fighting for.
