In a town called Mistletoe Falls, the best stories aren't found in books-they're written on the heart. Children's author Emma Sullivan is famous for happy endings, but she can't seem to write her own. Six months after losing her mother, crippling writer's block has stolen her joy and her words, leaving her convinced her creative magic is gone for good. Meanwhile, dedicated principal Nathan Reid is healing from a divorce that taught him a painful lesson: his passion for his job is a flaw that pushes love away. He's traded any hope of a relationship for the well-being of his students. When the town's cherished Christmas play is on the brink of cancellation, Nathan's desperate search for a volunteer leads him to Emma's cozy bookshop. A moment of impulse lands them in an unexpected partnership, forcing the creative storyteller and the practical principal to work side-by-side. Between chaotic rehearsals and weekend set-building, their professional collaboration sparks an attraction that's impossible to ignore-and the entire town of Mistletoe Falls is taking notice.

This heartwarming holiday romance is a cozy blend of beloved tropes. You'll love the Forced Proximity of their Christmas play collaboration, the charming Small Town Romance where the entire community plays matchmaker, and the sweet Opposites Attract dynamic between the artistic author and the steady principal.
