When a single mom of two moves in next door to a reclusive veteran, the frigid December temperatures might not be enough to keep his heart from melting this Christmas season. Nate Miller craves the solitude of his rustic cabin, a refuge from the weight of his military past and the guilt of letting others down. Tending to his duties at the Cozy Cup coffee shop in Sweet Bloom, Texas, is more than enough “people-ing” for him. With a tempting job offer in Colorado pulling him toward a quieter life, Nate’s convinced he’s better off alone—until a vibrant single mom and her kids move in next door, stirring feelings he can’t ignore. Autumn Hill is determined to give her children stability after a painful divorce. Trading bookkeeping services for a temporary cabin, she’s convinced the only one she can rely on is herself. Yet Nate’s quiet heroism—rescuing her from a cabin fire, tending her sprained ankle, and lighting up her kids’ faces with Christmas tree adventures—has her leaning on him in ways she never expected. His steady presence and tender glances make her heart flutter, tempting her to dream of more. As Christmas lights glow, they find themselves the target of a matchmaking Secret Santa scheme that has their chemistry simmering like hot cocoa on a winter night. But with Autumn’s cabin stay nearing its end and Nate’s Colorado plans threatening to pull him away, their budding love faces a frosty deadline. Can Nate open his heart to become part of her family, or will their love fade with the holiday season?

Filled with all the sweet Christmas romance and cozy holiday cheer you’ve come to expect from her heartwarming Christmas tales of love and happily ever afters.
