New York Ever After

When Cleo and Dylan find each other at a Christmas party, will they be able to make the necessary choices in order to find happiness and love for themselves?

Darcy is hosting Christmas at the Inglenook Inn when someone from her past shows up and complicates things. Can they put their differences aside to make Christmas a success?

When busy lives, a crisis, and what seems like a wedding that's never going to happen put a strain on two couples, they must rely on friendship to get past it all.

Holly is looking for a change, and, even though not everyone agrees with her career choices, she's determined there's more to this life than the long hours she works as an editor in New York City. What she doesn't expect is to meet Mitch, a recluse who's hiding more than she realizes. Mitch spends his days hidden away in a little log cabin in the woods out in Inglenook Falls where he owns a Christmas-tree farm. He speaks to people only when and if it's necessary, so when Holly falls into his life, he's not sure how to react. All he knows is that something needs to change if he ever wants to get his life back on track. Along with friends Cleo and Darcy, Holly is determined to bring joy back into Mitch's life, but will he appreciate their interference? And when a business proposition throws everything up in the air, will it do more harm than good and ruin lives forever? Both Holly and Mitch must learn that on the surface people aren't always what they seem...but if you dig a little deeper, they can take you by surprise.

The snow is beginning to fall, the chestnuts are roasting, and the mulled cider is ready to serve at the Garland Street markets this holiday season. When Amelia arrives in Manhattan to help Cleo at her knitting stall, and Nathan comes to New York for a holiday with his daughter, both soon realize they won't be getting quite the peaceful escape they'd imagined. Amelia is used to putting other people first, and this year is no exception. With surly nephew Kyle in tow, she has her work cut out trying to get both him and his mum to work through their problems before it's too late. Single dad Nathan wants to give his daughter, Scarlett, the world after he failed so dismally once before. But in trying to give her everything, and being terrified she'll make the same mistakes he did, will he push her too far and lose her forever? Cleo's fiancé Dylan is pressuring her to set a date for the wedding, but with her stepdaughter Ruby against the idea and creating mayhem wherever she can, Cleo doubts she'll ever manage to start planning what should be the best day of their lives. On Christmas Eve, beneath a blanket of stars, will anyone be able to get their Happy Ever After?

It's Thanksgiving, and friends are gathered at the Inglenook Inn in New York City to celebrate together. Cleo and Dylan finally have all their preparations in place for a perfect Christmas Eve wedding, but will it go according to plan? Kaisha is not only Cleo's employee but a good friend too, and she'd do anything for the woman she sees as more of a sister than her own. She would never hurt Cleo or let anyone else ruin things for her friend, so she has put her own long-term dreams on hold and, for now, is determined to see to it that Cleo's wedding to Dylan goes without a hitch. Finn hasn't been in touch with Dylan for years, but he couldn't ignore the request to be his best man, so he's back in Manhattan. But so are his parents, and there's enough animosity, anger, and underlying grief to power the entire city. The only family member Finn respects is his grandad, and he'd do anything for him, even if it means spending time with his parents. Kaisha's first impressions of Finn are that he's brash, unreliable, and someone to avoid, but when he gets a job at the Inglenook Falls Christmas tree farm and they become roommates, will he surpass her expectations? Or will he let everybody down at the last minute and prove Kaisha right? Finally Cleo and Dylan are on their way to a long-awaited Happy Ever After. But when wedding plans fall apart, they might just end up getting a day they'll never forget.
