About this ebook

An unexpected inheritance. A pesky clause in the will. And 25 days to avoid falling in love….


Cassie Hayward hates Christmas. Especially this year.


No job. Flat broke. And an ex most definitely on the naughty list.


The unexpected inheritance of a charming Victorian cottage in the small town of Poppy Creek may be the Christmas miracle Cassie needs.


Except for one itty-bitty problem: a clause in the will.


To inherit the house, Cassie must complete a series of festive tasks every day in December leading up to Christmas. All overseen by the handsome, Christmas-loving lawyer Luke Davis.


Luke is as strong and steady as the bespoke furniture he crafts as a hobby. He has to be. Stepping into his late father's shoes as the town lawyer comes with a sleigh full of responsibilities. Which means the captivating stranger collecting her inheritance is a distraction he can't afford.


Sparks fly as the unlikely pair complete the daily tasks, but will the wounds from their pasts—and a surprising visitor—steal their chance for a happily ever after?


Discover your new favorite small town in this feel-good series that's much more fun when read in order.


ALSO INCLUDES:


An original recipe.

A copy of the Christmas Calendar so you can follow along with Cassie.
