A heartwarming, closed‑door Christmas romance set in the twinkle‑lit town of Maplewood.
When big‑city marketing whiz Noelle Carter returns to Maplewood to help her family’s struggling sugarhouse, she plans to fix the Christmas Market, check on her widowed mom, and be back on a plane before New Year’s. She doesn’t plan on Jack Winters—a grumpy‑gentle carpenter and single dad who’s rebuilding the town’s gazebo and has zero time for corporate ‘magic.’
But Maplewood has a way of working on people. Between cocoa-fueled planning meetings, a gingerbread bake‑off that goes hilariously sideways, and nightly practice for the tree‑lighting choir (Noelle can’t carry a tune, but Jack’s daughter swears she’s perfect), the two find themselves teaming up to save the festival—and slipping into something that feels a lot like hope.
When a snowstorm threatens to cancel the market and send Noelle back to the life she thought she wanted, she must decide if success is measured in promotions…or in porch lights, second chances, and the kind of love that feels like coming home.
Sweet, funny, and full of small‑town sparkle, A Small Town Christmas is a feel‑good holiday escape—with a cinnamon‑roll hero, sugar‑house kisses, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
