Summary

I never imagined I’d be fighting for the survival of my family’s legacy against a corporate titan with ice in his veins and a heart wrapped in steel. Northbridge, the idyllic town that’s as much a part of me as the air I breathe, is under siege, and at the center of it all is the Christmas market I’ve nurtured for years. Enter Daniel Wolfe, CEO of Wolfe Enterprises and the man who sees profit where I see memories, who hears opportunity where I hear laughter. He’s here to bulldoze our traditions, to replace our cherished memories with a luxury resort that’ll make Northbridge unrecognizable. But I’m not about to let him erase everything we’ve built without a fight. I challenge him to experience the magic of our market firsthand, to see the love and passion that goes into every handmade ornament and gingerbread cookie. To my surprise, he accepts. As the snow falls and the lights twinkle, I see something change in Daniel’s icy blue eyes. He starts to listen, to understand, and I catch glimpses of a man I didn’t expect to find beneath the tailored suits and ruthless exterior. But it’s not enough. He’s still set on his plan, and now it’s not just my heart that’s on the line, but the entire town’s. As we clash over the future of Northbridge, I find myself caught between saving my home and the undeniable attraction simmering between us. Will the spirit of Northbridge be enough to change his mind—or will I be forced to choose between the man I’m falling for and the town I’ve sworn to protect?

If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.

He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.
