Jacob Morelli:
I hate the holidays. Call me Scrooge. I don't care. 99% of the year I'm as happy as a pig in mud. But the holidays? That reminds me of my best friend, Jessup, and his little sister, Crystal.
Jessup and I were inseparable until his accident. As soon as the funeral was over, Jessup's mother packed up Crystal and they left Emerald Ridge without a word.
They left me alone with my grief and my horrible father. I had no one to turn to when he'd go on his awful benders at the bar. I missed my adopted family so much.
Out of the blue, Crystal's back and all these strange emotions are hitting me. I can't trust that she's here to stay though. Not even supposed Christmas magic can fix what's broken this time.
Crystal Beckworth:
I lost everything I knew and loved in one fell swoop. My brother, his best friend and my home on Emerald Ridge. My mom was so broken-up that we just couldn't stay.
I missed Jacob, the boy who made me laugh all the time, who hugged me at the funeral while I cried and who protected me from bullies every day. When I was dragged away from him, I tried writing to him but he never replied.
I'm on my way through Emerald Ridge right before Christmas when a storm hits. My car slips off the road and the Sheriff calls for an ambulance.
Who's in the back waiting to check me out? Jacob. Big, strong, gorgeous Jacob. But he's grumpy and hates all things Christmas. I love the holidays and helping people. That's what got me into this mess.
I want my chance at a holiday happily-ever-after with the grumpy, older mountain man who's haunted me as a friend but now I need more.
Can I convince him that Christmas magic is real and it's brought us together for a reason?
Genre: Romance
