Description

Could they be the perfect blend of sweet and heat?

Mia never planned on staying in Honey Springs. She definitely never planned on falling for anyone. But when charming single dad Adam walks into her newly relaunched bookshop holding her favourite novel, Mia can't deny the spark between them. When a Christmas blizzard traps them inside the cosy shop one snowy evening, that spark ignites into something she can't ignore.

With her heart suddenly on the line, Mia can't shake the feeling that she's not ready for a man like Adam – or his family. But someone in Honey Springs has been playing matchmaker all along – will they be able to convince Mia that the greatest love stories aren't the ones on her shelves?

Return to the gorgeous mountainside town of Honey Springs for a story filled with tropes like:

❄️ Small town

❄️ Single dad
