He values tradition. She’s pushing for progress.
Can they find common ground under the Christmas lights this season?

Despite an aversion to all things Christmas, plucky publicist Fallon Gale is in charge of taking the Holly Days Festival to the next level. They might not appreciate her vision, but she’s determined to drag these tradition-bound locals into this century, despite the handsome, enigmatic son of the festival’s founders fighting her at every turn.
Marine First Sergeant Kade Behar just retired from active service and returned home to Hendricks. But clashing with the infuriating yet adorable woman who would rather seat Santa and Mrs. Claus in one of those fancy electric pickup trucks instead of his family’s heirloom sleigh is not what he had in mind. He’s caught between saving the festival from a stranger’s nontraditional plans and fighting his growing attraction to her.
When Fallon unknowingly enlists help from a Behar family rival for the festival, Kade draws a line in the snow. But ’tis the season for surprises, and with the help of a little holiday magic, snowflakes—and sparks—might fly this Christmas.
