The youngest of three brothers, Landon Stone would do anything for his grandmother, Hattie—even return to his hometown of Moose Falls. Hattie’s heart is set on her grandsons taking over the family business—and finding their happily-ever-afters in Alaska. When Hattie gets the idea that Landon is romantically entangled with his gorgeous colleague, Bailey Daniels, Landon doesn’t just go along with it—he asks Bailey to join the ruse.
Bailey isn’t sure if she agrees because she adores Hattie for helping her family through their darkest times . . . or because she finds the charmingly nerdy Landon completely irresistible. Either way, it’s extremely easy to appear totally into him. But as they collaborate at work—and after hours—to make Hattie’s Christmas extra special, Bailey and Landon’s relationship starts to feel all too real. What if the only people Landon and Bailey are fooling this season… are themselves?

Snow is falling, tempers are flaring… but opposites attract…
Stevie Evans is over the moon when her best friend announces she’s getting married. She’s all in for the planning… until she learns she’ll be working side-by-side with the bride’s oh-so-serious brother, Brant. Years ago, sparks flew between them—of the argument variety—and she’s kept her distance ever since. But this time, the aisle is too short to avoid him, and the spark feels suspiciously like attraction.
Brant Gilroy likes his life neat, predictable, and well-structured—unlike Stevie, who’s basically a walking bundle of chaos. But with his career suddenly on shaky ground, and his sister’s dream wedding set for the family’s tree farm, he can’t say no to helping… even if it means teaming up with the one woman who drives him up a wall.
As wedding decorations are hung and snowflakes fall, their clash of styles starts to look a lot like sizzling chemistry. But can two former enemies pull off a picture-perfect wedding—and maybe discover they’re the perfect match?

Jade Bennett can handle corporate backstabbing and hostile takeovers. A bakery held together by prayer and expired permits, a reindeer farmer with trust issues, and a vindictive town inspector with a mysterious grudge? Not so much.
When her aunt’s beloved Sugar Pine Sweets faces foreclosure, Jade returns to Frost Pine Ridge armed with an MBA and zero idea how to fix a commercial oven. Her only ally is Leo Carter—her high school almost-romance, who now raises reindeer and is convinced she’ll leave the moment things get hard.
Between learning to bake her great-grandmother’s legendary recipes, navigating small-town politics, and trying not to fall for a man who rescues her from electrical disasters while protecting his heart, Jade discovers that saving the bakery means saving herself. And maybe—if she can prove she’s staying—saving a chance at love with the quiet, stubborn man next door.
Because sometimes the sweetest recipe isn’t in any cookbook. It’s coming home, fighting for what matters, and learning that the people who challenge you the most might be exactly who you need.

Nonetheless, she’s judging their “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” contest.

Be careful what you wish for….
Hotel sales manager Clara Jenkins has an opportunity to take over as general manager of her hotel. There’s just one problem: she’s asked to shadow her boss for a year, and her boss happens to be her ex. Clara’s not so sure about working in close quarters with him for that length of time.
But her job opportunity isn’t the only major hurdle this year. At dinner the next night, her new boyfriend, Air Force pilot Brent McNally, drops the bomb that he’s being deployed on short notice for an entire year.

He has one month to make a Christmas miracle happen.
Laney Reynolds knows there’s only one place that can help her heal a broken heart: Cherrywood Creek. The small town where she grew up, with its holiday festivals and snow-covered streets, is exactly where she needs to be this December.

Connor received his wake-up call loud and clear when Laney left, and there’s no way he’s giving up on his marriage. If that means dropping everything and trading high-rises for gingerbread houses to sweep his wife off her feet in her hometown, then so be it. This time, he’s listening, but it’ll take more than hot chocolate dates and even hotter nights to win Laney back. Can he prove that being a CEO is nowhere near as important as being her husband?
