Snowdrift & Sugarplum

When Wren Calloway's job and engagement collapse in the same week, she flees Boston for the one place that's always felt like home, her grandmother's bakery on Chestnut Street in Maple Hollow. But home isn't as safe as she remembers. The town's beloved Christmas Eve festival is fading, a developer is circling the historic square, and the bakery's ancient oven has just given up the ghost.

Then there's Beckett Marsh , the boy who once put a garter snake in her backpack, now a widowed single father running his family's Christmas tree farm and quietly holding his whole world together for his six-year-old daughter, Ivy. When Wren is roped into co-chairing the festival with him, old rivalry melts fast into something warmer, even as a nor'easter, a looming town vote, and a broken-down oven threaten to bury Maple Hollow's Christmas for good.

With borrowed kitchens, a hand-shoveled Main Street, and a town full of neighbors who refuse to give up without a fight, Wren and Beckett discover that saving Christmas might just mean saving each other.

A heartwarming, wholesome small-town romance about family, second chances, and the kind of love that feels like coming home perfect for fans of sweet holiday fiction with a big heart and a little mistletoe.
