Maddie Lark is living out her type-A dreams planning events for Miami’s elite—until a celebrity bride’s viral meltdown makes her an unemployed internet meme. Desperate for a job, she lands in the last place she’d choose: a Christmas market in the Colorado mountains, plagued by snow, sleigh bells, and one nagging thought: what if the disaster really was her fault?
But Snowdrop is a place that believes—in kindness, kinship, and the magic of being heard. For fifty years, the town has written letters to Santa, knowing Ford Bennett and the team at Winterbloom Market would always write back. Now Ford is gone, and his grandson Ben is fighting to save the market from developers who’d rather build condos than community.
Maddie didn’t come here to save anything, but Winterbloom gets under her skin—and so does Ben. He’s chaos in a cable-knit sweater—stubborn, scattered, and disarmingly kind. Somewhere between the arguments, their friction turns to flirting that hints at more. As the fight for Winterbloom becomes her own, Maddie must choose: return to the life she planned, or bet everything on a snow-covered town worth saving—and the man who made her want to stay.

Paperback. Condition: Good. She came to hide. She stayed to be found. Three months ago, Madison Lark had a corner office and a successful event planning career. Then a celebrity wedding disaster and a viral video made her an unemployed internet punchline. Now she's in Colorado, managing operations at a small-town Christmas market and trying to outrun one question: What if it actually was my fault? Winterbloom should be simple. Show up, do the job, head home to Florida after the New Year. But nothing about this place is simple-least of all Ben Bennett, the owner's grandson. He's scattered. Unreliable. Far too charming for his own good. Absolutely not her type. So why can't she stop noticing him? When Maddie discovers the market's tradition of anonymous letters to Santa, she starts writing things she's never said out loud -about failure, fear, and the person she's afraid to become. Santa's response surprises her - no empty reassurances, just the questions she's been avoiding. As her walls begin to crack, Maddie faces a choice she never saw coming: return to the life she thought she wanted, or stay and find out who she could be . . . if she's brave enough to stop running.
