Melanie Bowman never wanted to run the family’s booth at the Evergreen Falls Christmas Market. She would rather hide in her office than face ten days of sales and small talk.

Between nosy firefighters, a meddling elf, and a jealous ex in spandex, they’ll have to survive twelve days of chaos leading up to Christmas Eve.
As snow falls and lights twinkle, two unlikely hearts will discover whether the most imperfect person can the one who’s perfectly right.
