Nothing says Christmas like a heart ready to crack open.
Lo Carson thought the nutcrackers her Grams sent every Christmas would stop after Grams passed—yet four years later, they still arrive on schedule. This year, the latest comes with urgent letters from beyond the grave and a lot of questions about the family bookstore Lo thought was sold long ago.
Determined to find answers, Lo returns to Riverbend Springs, Iowa—the hometown she swore off—and promptly runs into Liam White, her former best friend turned resident grump…now a single dad to a glitter-loving five-year-old.
As Lo follows Grams’s clues, she uncovers more than small-town secrets. There’s Liam’s unexpected sweetness, a pint-sized matchmaker, and a town eager to pull her back into its twinkle-lit embrace.
With gingerbread lattes, bookshop revelations, and one meddling, ghostly grandmother nudging her along, Lo must decide if home is where you run from—or the place (and the person) you’re meant to return to.
