Christmas In RoseHallow

Jane Rivers, a polished big-city woman who's never stepped outside urban life, expects another fancy Christmas--until her entire family travels elsewhere for the holidays. With no plans left, she reluctantly follows her mother Calista back to RoseHallow, the small, magical town Calista grew up in. Jane instantly dislikes the rustic pace, overly friendly locals, and constant holiday cheer.

Then she meets Catrina Hale, the quick-witted, charming baker who runs Sugar Pine Sweets. Their first encounter is mess (literally--Jane spills hot chocolate everywhere), and the two butt heads from the start. But RoseHallow has way of pulling people together. Whether it's winter festival, the snowman contest, the town market, or late-night bakery errands, Jane and Catrina keep crossing paths.

As they spend more time together, Jane notices Rose Hallow's subtle magic: self-warming scarves, glowing snowflakes, cups that refill just when you need them. And little by little, she begins to understand the beauty of slowing down--and the warmth behind Catrina's teasing.

The rivalry softens into something gentler and unexpectedly hopeful, especially when a crisis at bakery pushes them to work side by side. Through laughter, bickering, and holiday magic, Jane discovers that RoseHallow--andCatrina--might be exactly what her heart has been missing.
