“What a fabulous festive debut! A spicy, magical romance written with such sensitivity and depth that it leaps off the page to wrap you in a warm hug.”

Packed with holiday hijinks, gentle self-discovery, a good pinch of spice, and a grumpy/sunshine couple you’ll be cheering for along the way, this story will put a smile on your face and warmth in your heart. Highly recommended!”
—Holly Cassidy, bestselling author of The Christmas Countdown
“A fresh, fun, fantastic debut from a talented Canadian author to watch! I’ve read (and loved) so many holiday romances, but this one is headed straight to the top of my faves! Devra and Bradley are complex characters who feel like real friends, so you can’t help but fall for them and hope they’ll find their happily ever after—together.”
