When Sylvie Alcott returns to Skaneateles after twelve years away, she plans to settle her mother’s estate and leave. But Delia Alcott had one last twist waiting: Sylvie will inherit The Sugarplum House only if she reopens it for the town’s beloved Christmas Legacy Walk—in just three weeks.
With tensions high between her and her sister Nancy, a guesthouse full of unexpected visitors, and a community that hasn’t forgotten her dramatic exit, Sylvie is ready to fail fast… until she discovers who’s living in the cabin behind the inn.
Liam Hartley, her first love—and now a widowed author—has been wintering on the property for years. Their reunion is awkward, tender, and charged with the kind of slow-burning chemistry Sylvie thought she’d outgrown.
As snow deepens and the holidays draw near, the house fills with warmth: tree decorating, skating on the frozen lake, caroling through town, a magical Christmas supper. And while Sylvie uncovers her mother’s long-kept secrets through hidden journals, she begins to see the real legacy Delia hoped to leave behind.
But Liam has a life-changing opportunity waiting abroad… and Sylvie may finally have a reason to stay.
This Christmas, love might get a second chance—if they can both choose the same future.
