When I return to Holly Ridge for the Christmas festival, I'm hoping for a quiet escape, not a walk down memory lane.
But that's exactly what I get when I bump into Milo Keane, my high school crush who never left town. He's everything I remember-steady, kind, and somehow more ruggedly handsome than before. As I hide out at his inn, helping with holiday decorations and even making cookies for guests, old feelings resurface. But with the paparazzi lurking around every corner, the peace I crave feels further away than ever. Milo steps in to protect me, but I wonder if our worlds are just too different. Can I let someone in when I've spent so long keeping everyone out?
