Kayla Reed works grueling hours on the overnight shift in the neonatal intensive care unit. A Miami native, she chose the smaller town and slower pace of lakeside life in Michigan. She’s friendly and outgoing, but there’s still something missing. Quade Cooper keeps to himself, doing most of his freelance drafting in the middle of the night. He’s got his dogs, he’s got his books. But every time he sees his gorgeous dark-haired neighbor, he wonders whether there could be so much more to life. She’s got a list of wintery experiences she’s never experienced. How many items can Quade help her cross off that list—and how many more will he add? He’s got two dogs and a garden gnome cosplaying a Time Lord. Kayla loves dogs and she’s knitting the iconic stripey scarf for the gnome. She’s never had a Christmas tree of her own. Quade’s got miles of string lights to share, ornaments to spare, and his tree topper is a weeping angel. He’s falling fast, but is she falling at all? There are only twelve days until Christmas…can Quade make Kayla’s Christmas the best one yet—and only the first of many? Welcome to the small-town world of Beckley, Michigan. It’s winter and the trees are bare, but the frozen lakes and snow-covered forests are still postcard-perfect. Winter days are short and the nights are cold—perfect for curling up beside a roaring fire. The people are warm, friendly, smart, funny—and very, very real.
