The festive and hilarious second chance romance from the bestselling author of Winter’s Fairytale! 🎁❄☃️

Lexi never imagined she’d spend the holidays in her family’s cosy Christmas shop, icing gingerbread men and decorating wreaths to distract herself from a failed engagement.

Still healing from heartbreak, she’s convinced that romance is off her Christmas list for good. But that’s until gorgeous single dad Cal Martin walks through the door …

Christmas takes on a whole new meaning as Lexi begins to see it through the eyes of Cal’s adorable five-year-old son. And as she finds herself edging close to the mistletoe with Cal, she can’t help but wonder if this magical season could bring her the happiness she thought she’d lost for ever.

After all, sometimes the best gifts come when you least expect them. 🎁

Tropes:

🎄Small town romance

🎄Second chances

🎄Found family

🎄Slow-burn
