Falling in love is easy.
Finding the courage to stay is another story.
Five years ago, Jayce Connelly lost everything that mattered to him on Christmas Eve. Since then, the handsome Wyoming Christmas tree farmer has mastered the art of keeping busy, keeping his distance, and surviving the one season everyone else seems to love.
Aria Whitley isn't looking for another man to complicate her life. Newly divorced and determined to start over in the small town of Jackson, she's focused on making her bakery a success and giving her seven-year-old daughter the future she deserves. Falling for a charming, emotionally guarded Christmas tree farmer is the last thing she needs.
Unfortunately, the attraction between them is impossible to ignore.
Between stolen kisses, a winter storm, and a little girl who has a way of breaking down even the strongest walls, Jayce and Aria find themselves falling into something neither expected, and both are beginning to want.
For the first time in five years, Jayce can imagine a future worth looking forward to. But the closer he gets to Aria and her daughter, the more terrified he becomes of losing them.
And Aria has already learned the hard way that loving someone isn't enough if they can't choose you back.
With Christmas approaching, Jayce must decide whether he'll let the past dictate the rest of his life or find the courage to fight for a future he never believed he'd have again.
