Narrated by Jason Clarke and Lili Valente
He hates Christmas. She's the ultimate fruitcake fan. This is war...
Billionaire Luke Ratcliffe is trapped in small-town Vermont for the holidays, forced to honor his late grandfather's dying wish. His survival plan? Avoid the locals, skip the festivities, and definitely don't get caught breaking into the town hall to destroy the town's hideous Christmas tree topper.
Too bad pet photographer Holly Hadley has him on tape.
Now Silver Bell Falls' resident sunshine enthusiast has blackmailed him into being her Grinchy holiday assistant: Tree lightings. Gingerbread competitions. Wrangling cats, dogs, and a chipmunk (don't ask) into Santa hats for the camera.
It's Luke's version of hell.
But somewhere between the forced holiday cheer and Holly's infectious laugh, the ice around his heart begins to thaw. She sees the man who's forgotten what it feels like to belong somewhere. To someone.
Can Sunshine and Scrooge really live happily ever after? Or is this mismatched holiday love doomed from the start?

When Melanie is forced to stay in Silver Bell Falls over the holiday, she's less than thrilled.

Part 2 of the Silver Bell Falls series
It's Christmastime again in Silver Bell Falls, and the whole town is getting in the spirit to help ballet teacher Abby Foster achieve her dream of opening her own dance studio! Teaching ballet to children at the community center is fine, but she's hoping for so much more-her own studio, her own business...not to mention maybe meeting Mr. Right and having a family of her own. And for almost a year, she's been picturing reclusive Dean Hayes in that role... Solitude and Dean Hayes have always gone hand-in-hand. It hasn't been by choice-circumstances beyond his control make it that way. Just in time for the holidays, he becomes the permanent guardian of his five-year-old niece. He'd always imagined he'd have a family of his own-just not quite like this. With the support of his hometown friends, he knows it's going to be okay. But it's Abby's help with his niece that makes the biggest difference... This isn't the Christmas either Abby or Dean had planned, but maybe it's the chance for the most perfect one yet!

Christmas Inn Love

Part 5 of the Silver Bell Falls series
Closing the doors to the Silver Bell Inn for the holiday season seems like the perfect plan to give the B&B some much-needed love and care-or at least it would be if the inn didn't need a lot more work than Cassidy can handle on her own. She needs help. But asking for it is the last thing she wants to do. Getting stuck in Silver Bell Falls was not part of Beckham Allen's plans. Neither was this cross-country road trip, for that matter. He was supposed to be focusing on himself and on healing after the loss of his father. But nothing, not even his rescue dog Mazie, seems to be able to break him out of his funk. Or so he thought until he met the sweet innkeeper who takes him in. After an awkward start, Cassidy and Beckham discover the perks of being snowed in together. And with Christmas drawing closer, they find they may have just been given the greatest gift of all.

If only life was a cheesy holiday movie, unfortunately for Aspen Harris, her life doesn't even come close.
