A hockey star who can’t wait to skip town. A videographer whose career relies on him.

The Denver Glaciers’ new right-wing hockey player, Connor Greene, is far from jolly this Christmas. Being traded to a new team 8 days before Christmas and returning to his hometown of Mountain Springs brings more than festivities— it brings back teenage memories he’d rather forget in the city he never wanted to live in again. And now, he has to squeeze in video shoots of Christmas festivities in his hometown to help boost his new team’s reputation. The bright spot in all of it is the intriguing woman behind the camera.

Katie Allred is a spirited videographer with big dreams for her fledgling videography business, and her newest client will make or break her business. If Connor shines as the star everyone sees, her footage will be gold. But if it spirals down like their disastrous first shoot, her business dreams could shatter like thin ice.

As Connor finds himself out of his depth in a sea of wrapping paper, mischievous kids, and a Santa Hat family competition that puts MasterChef to shame, he starts to see more in Katie than just her camera skills. But he’s been secretly planning a hasty retreat from this town for good, and Katie fears getting too close to a man who might leave as quickly as he appeared.

Get ready for a heartwarming ride filled with mishaps, merriment, and those magical moments that make the holiday season unforgettable. This sweet and funny romance will have you rooting for love, laughing at life’s unpredictability, and maybe, just maybe, believing in love and the magic of Christmas.
