When an unexpected winter storm leaves Mistletoe Meadows in darkness, a young pastor and a widowed candle maker discover that sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest moments... Pastor Mark Stevens never imagined his first Christmas in Mistletoe Meadows would involve a power outage, a church full of stranded townspeople, and falling for a woman who wants nothing to do with opening her heart again. Taking over for beloved Pastor Johnson after forty years was intimidating enough without a natural disaster and a candlelight Christmas Eve service that threatens to become all too literal. Olivia Winters has spent three years building walls around her heart while raising her twin boys and growing her handcrafted candle business since losing her military husband. The carefully structured life she's created leaves no room for dependence on others—especially not the too-kind, too-handsome new pastor who seems to be everywhere she turns. When a devastating winter storm causes a town-wide power outage just weeks before Christmas, Mistletoe Meadows faces its greatest challenge. As the church becomes an emergency shelter, Mark and Olivia find themselves working side by side to care for the community. With her candles providing the only light and his steady presence offering unexpected comfort, Olivia's walls begin to crumble despite her determination to remain self-sufficient. As Christmas approaches in cold and darkness, the light of unexpected love begins to glow. But when Olivia's estranged parents arrive for a surprise holiday visit and Mark struggles with filling his predecessor's shoes, they must decide if the fragile flame between them is strong enough to illuminate a future together. Return one last time to beloved Mistletoe Meadows in this heartwarming conclusion to the series that reminds us that with faith, family, and community, even the smallest flame can light the darkest night. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, RaeAnne Thayne, and Courtney Walsh, this emotional small-town romance concludes the beloved Mistletoe Meadows series with a touching story about finding hope and love when we least expect it—and most need it.
