Holly Raymond's new role as Manager of Evergreen Lake's Chamber of Commerce is a dream come true, but it comes with a challenge: winning over Amos Winter, the town's rugged, grumpy, but eligible bachelor. Holly spent summers in Evergreen Lake with her grandmother, and was left Granny's house, filled with cherished memories. Though she bonded with Amos's much younger sister, he still sees Holly as the troublesome teen she once was. A blizzard hits, leaving Holly and festival goers stranded at Amos's farm. The historical farmhouse lacks holiday cheer and is far from festive, but Holly sees its potential and encourages Amos to unearth long-forgotten decorations. Snowed in together, Amos's gruff exterior gives way to a warmth that melts Holly's heart. For Amos, seeing Holly as the passionate, caring woman she's become ignites a spark he can't deny. As the storm rages around the farmhouse filled with strangers, firelight and a shared newfound Christmas cheer begins to crumble the walls between them. Holly and Amos are drawn together in ways they never anticipated, discovering the true magic of Christmas-and a love they never saw coming.
