Willow Weston, a well-known artist, is working on an upcoming exhibition in Seattle when her brother Hayden puts Hunter Grant in charge of managing The Weston Ranch.
She’s seen the big cowboy with the killer smile around town, but so far has managed to ignore the instant tug at her heart when he’s around. But now he’s living on their ranch and is constantly getting in her way, even intruding when she’s swimming naked in her favorite private hot spring.
Like her grandmother, Willow is fey, as her mother calls it. She knows when something is wrong, and she experiences the feelings of those she loves. She’s made peace with the fact that she’ll never have a family or even consider marriage, but when she and Hunter ended up being fake-engaged, things got complicated. Apart from the fact that she doesn’t want the responsibility of one more person’s feelings to consider, Hunter has made it clear he’s only on the Weston Ranch temporarily. There’s a family ranch waiting for him in Colorado.
There’s no way they can be together forever, is there?

Willow McBride is fierce, independent, and determined to keep her late brother’s ranch—and her heart—intact. She doesn’t need a hero, and she certainly doesn’t need a stand-in groom.

A veteran with scars, a single dad with doubts, and a Christmas neither will forget.
Veteran Maggie Majors is in Pine Hill, Kentucky, on a mission, not to get involved in the town’s over-the-top Christmas festivities. Nonetheless, she’s judging their “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” contest.

Lucy Macready believes in three things: peppermint cocoa can fix almost anything, tradition matters, and every December deserves a little magic.
But when the town bans pop-up vendors, her beloved cocoa stand is shut down—and with it, the one piece of Christmas that still connects her to her late grandmother.
Determined to keep the magic alive, Lucy sets her sights on the only place left to set up shop: Fir Lodge Tree Farm.
The problem?
It’s owned by Boyd Granger—the town’s resident recluse, all gruff edges and sawdust, whose idea of Christmas spirit is letting the storm shovel his driveway for him.
She shows up with cocoa and carols. He meets her with scowls and silence.
But when a blizzard traps them together, Lucy’s warmth starts melting more than snowdrifts—and Boyd begins to remember what hope used to feel like.
In a town where traditions are sacred and hearts are stubborn, one cup of cocoa might just be enough to rebuild belief in love.
