She doesn’t believe in Christmas. He doesn’t believe in giving up on her.

Holly Evans has thirty-seven dollars in the bank, a foam chicken hat on her head, and one last shot at the screenwriting career she’s been clinging to since she was twenty-one. The offer her agent just walked in with? A Hallmark-style Christmas rom-com. Six-week deadline. And a producer who didn’t want her thriller about Santa losing his magic — but loved the idea as a romance.

There’s only one tiny problem. Holly is the least Christmas-y person in the Western Hemisphere. She’s an Aussie. She wouldn’t know a snow angel if she tripped over one. Not to mention her family hasn’t done a real Christmas dinner since the divorce.

Enter Joe Winters. Maple Lake, Minnesota. Tourism consultant. Christmas personified. The guy who once got fired for decorating the public bathroom as Santa’s Official Bathroom (a.k.a. Jingle Bowls). His career is on the line too — he needs Maple Lake to land as a streamer Christmas-movie filming location, and he needs Holly to fall in love with the town badly enough to write it into the script.

She came to write a Hallmark movie. She didn’t plan on starring in one.

She stopped believing a long time ago. Joe never has. And six weeks of small-town snowfall, salt-of-the-earth Sunday dinners, and one very persistent Christmas elf are about to put both their careers — and a few quietly held hopes — on the line.
