When overworked finance executive Olivia Harper stares at one too many spreadsheets, she does what any burned-out 29-year-old would do: buys a charming log cabin in the mountains, sight unseen.
Trading high heels for hiking boots and morning meetings for a wood stove, she arrives in Snowy Ridge ready for peace, quiet, and maybe even a touch of Christmas magic. What she finds instead is a drafty, fixer-upper that's more wilderness survival challenge than winter wonderland.
With the help of the quirky locals, a few borrowed tools, and one infuriatingly helpful (and distractingly handsome) former resident, Olivia rolls up her sleeves and gets to work. As she learns to slow down and embrace the warmth of an unexpected community, she begins to wonder if this might be exactly what she needed all along.
If you've ever dreamed of leaving it all behind, this cozy, funny, and heartwarming holiday romance is your perfect escape.
