Sweet December

One treacherous blizzard. Two cozy days. Three lives tangled together for good.

Lucy Jarvi is barely holding it together. A floundering real estate agent with a secret writing life, she’s now the sudden guardian of her five-year-old nephew, Leo, after the unexpected death of her sister. A pre-Christmas escape from Nicolet, Michigan, to a remote cabin in the Keweenaw is her chance to bond with him and prove to herself that she can be the stand-in mother he deserves.

After a white-knuckle drive over snow-covered roads, Lucy arrives to find the cabin already occupied by Jordan Jamieson, a sidelined NFL quarterback who’s as unsettled in life as she is.

Snowed in, they’re an unlikely trio: a boy with a gap in his heart shaped exactly like a dad, a woman who’s never felt seen, and a man who lost himself in the spotlight.

The last thing Lucy and Jordan need is a holiday distraction.

And yet.

Escape into this charming snowed-in holiday romance about grief, chosen family, and the courage to stop hiding your truest self.

Contains minimal, mild language.
