The magic of Christmasβand a second shot at romanceβis in the air in Shelter Springs this holiday seasonβ¦
Amanda Taylor isnβt a fan of Christmas, but as the owner of a local soap shop, ignoring the holiday season isnβt an option. To forget the pain of Christmases past, Amanda focuses on making the season bright for her customers at the Shelter Springs Holiday Giving Market. But when her beloved grandmother, Birdie, starts dating the dashing new resident of the Shelter Inn retirement community, Amanda smells trouble. Fortunately, Rafe Arredondo, the grandson of Birdieβs charming suitor, is equally dubious of the match. Unfortunately, he's just as fiery as his grandfatherβand Amanda has zero interest in getting burned.
As a single father, paramedic and assistant fire chief, Rafe has more than enough on his plate. Sure, he and Amanda share a common goal in keeping their grandparents apart. Still, that doesnβt mean he should allow himself to feel as drawn to her as he does. Even if she is great with his young son. Even if she does help the burden of his own painful past feel a little lighterβ¦ But when their paths keep crossing at the holiday market, it starts to feel like fate, prompting them both to wonder if taking a chance on love might gift them everything theyβve been wishing for.
