She built a career destroying holiday magic.

He's spent years creating it.

Everyone in Eureka Falls knows Steve can fix almost anything.

Broken Christmas lights.
Last-minute holiday disasters.
Forgotten birthday surprises.
Even the traditions that hold an entire town together.


The one thing he can't seem to repair?

His own lonely heart.

When New Year's Eve strands bestselling blogger Edwina Brooks in the middle of nowhere, the last place she expects to find herself is a tiny town where strangers treat you like family, neighbors know your name before you introduce yourself, and holiday magic feels...real.

Edwina has spent the last three years becoming famous for exposing the truth behind celebrations, fairy tales, and happily-ever-afters. Millions of readers know her as The New Year's Grinch—the woman who reminds everyone that resolutions fail, romance fades, and midnight kisses rarely last until morning.

Steve has never met anyone quite like her.

She sees manufactured memories.

He sees a woman carrying a broken heart.

When an unexpected holiday tradition throws them together, sparks begin to fly between the town's favorite fixer and the woman determined not to believe in happy endings.

But some walls aren't easy to tear down.

Especially the ones protecting two hearts that have already been broken.

As the countdown to midnight begins, an entire town quietly conspires to show Edwina that maybe the greatest New Year's resolution isn't changing who you are...

...it's believing that love is still worth the risk.

New Year's Steve is a sweet, closed-door romantic comedy overflowing with laugh-out-loud moments, unforgettable holiday traditions, swoony kisses, quirky small-town charm, and all the emotional warmth of a Hallmark movie with the heart of a contemporary romance.
