He’s her grumpy new neighbor. She’s the holiday queen of Sugar Plum Road. Only one of them can win the Christmas contest…unless love gets there first.
Noelle Wilson lives for the holidays. Her cottage glitters brighter than the North Pole, and winning the Stanford Holiday Decoration Contest isn’t just about bragging rights — the prize money could save her struggling school art program.
Jake Matthews has other plans. After three years of avoiding Christmas, the last thing he wants is to return home and face a street covered in twinkle lights. But when his father insists their house enter the contest, Jake finds himself reluctantly teaming up with Noelle — the most determined, festive, and distracting woman he’s ever met.
What starts as a temporary truce turns into late-night decorating, shared hot chocolate, and sparks neither of them can ignore. But with secrets from Jake’s past threatening to dim his holiday spirit, and the contest drawing closer, Noelle has to decide if risking her heart is worth more than winning.
On Sugar Plum Road, the lights may dazzle, but the real magic is falling in love.
