Settle in with your favorite cup of cocoa and a warm blanket for this swoony holiday romance that includes a peppermint festival and characters that are sure to warm your heart this Christmas.

Deals require negotiations, but for Cole Stevens, this could be the riskiest deal of his lifetime. Holland Jenkins has been disappointed so often that she questions her purpose and her talent as an artist. The cabins she helps lease for her family is the one constant in her life. Birch Falls' small town peppermint festival is quickly approaching. As Holland is preparing ornaments for her booth, she's in search of inspiration, even if she won't admit it. Cole has a deal to close, and after a little unexpected change in route, he decides to rent a cabin at Mistletoe Ridge. Cole finds himself falling for the charming small town, and also falling for Holland, which wasn't part of the plan. Holland doesn't know about her grandparents' plans to sell Mistletoe Ridge, and although they think they are doing it for the right reasons, keeping it a secret has all involved reconsidering. Perhaps, a dash of ginger, a sprinkle of sugar, and a little magic can make their Christmas wishes come true.
