Julia Stanton loves Christmas—almost as much as she loves the home she’s made in Holiday Harbor.

So when her beloved pastor’s prodigal son returns for a brief visit, she hatches a plan to keep Nick McHenry in town.

Julia never expects to feel the spark of something more for Nick. But it will take more than attraction to turn this handsome scrooge into her hometown hero.
