Shelter Springs

Nat Shepherd has no desire to come home for Christmas. After her beloved mother and brother died when she was a teenager and her grief-stricken father abandoned the family, she left home for college and never looked back. Her sister, McKenna, handled her grief differently. She stayed home to run the Shelter Inn, the family business, married her childhood sweetheart and started a family. So, when a pregnant and bedridden McKenna calls, needing Nat to take over at the Shelter Inn, she knows she has no choice but to come running. But she never expected to see Griffin, her first crush and the man who was with her brother when he died on that tragic ski trip, and who's been keeping a secret ever since...

The magic of Christmas, and a second shot at romance, is in the air in Shelter Springs this holiday season... Amanda Taylor isn't a fan of Christmas, but as the owner of a local soap shop, ignoring the holiday season isn't an option. To forget the pain of Christmases past, Amanda focuses on making the season bright for her customers at the Shelter Springs Holiday Giving Market. But when her beloved grandmother, Birdie, starts dating the dashing new resident of the Shelter Inn retirement community, Amanda smells trouble. Fortunately, Rafe Arredondo, the grandson of Birdie's charming suitor, is equally dubious of the match. Unfortunately, he's just as fiery as his grandfather, and Amanda has zero interest in getting burned. As a single father, paramedic and assistant fire chief, Rafe has more than enough on his plate. Sure, he and Amanda share a common goal in keeping their grandparents apart. Still, that doesn't mean he should allow himself to feel as drawn to her as he does. Even if she is great with his young son. Even if she does help the burden of his own painful past feel a little lighter... But when their paths keep crossing at the holiday market, it starts to feel like fate, prompting them both to wonder if taking a chance on love might gift them everything they've been wishing for.
