A leaky roof. A grumpy author. A town that lives and breathes Christmas. What could possibly go wrong?

All Penny Quinn wants for Christmas is to keep her beloved bookstore running—and for her roof to stop leaking. When a New York publisher offers to cover the repairs in exchange for one small favor, Penny can hardly refuse.

The favor? Play holiday tour guide to Daniel Bedford, a bestselling author whose essay trashing Christmas just went viral.

Penny’s plan is to grit her teeth, show Daniel the joys of small-town Christmas, and send him back to New York. But Daniel isn’t what she expected. Beneath his gruff exterior lies a kind and thoughtful man whose emotional wounds mirror her own.

As sparks fly, Penny realizes that her leaky roof isn’t the only thing worth repairing. Is she ready to let go of the past — and embrace a future filled with romance and love?

The Heartsprings Valley romances celebrate love during the most wonderful time of the year.
