When Cassidy Wyatt rolls into Magnolia Springs, she’s determined to keep to herself.

Fresh air, long rides, quiet nights by the fire… What could possibly go wrong? 
 
Enter Jake Hopman: Magnolia Springs’ golden boy turned small-town accountant, the kind of man who always seems to have his life perfectly together. When he discovers that something isn’t adding up in her grandfather’s books, an oversight that could mean losing the stables, he steps in to help, much to Cassidy’s irritation. He’s clean-cut, business-minded, and exactly the kind of man Cassidy has no time for. But as the two butt heads over the future of the stables, Jake’s easy smile and relentless optimism start to wear down her defences, and maybe, just maybe, mend the parts of her heart she’s been keeping locked away. 
 
Under blazing skies and starry nights, Cassidy finds herself torn between running from her past and putting down roots where she least expected. But in Jake Hopman’s steady hands, will her wild heart finally find its home?

Will a little Christmas magic melt her icy heart? 
 
Holly Westward has never loved her family’s annual ski trip, but she’s never dared skip it either. With her parents’ sky-high expectations and a lifetime of being overshadowed by her brothers, Holly’s learned to keep her heart firmly on ice. But when a blizzard strands her overnight in the small town of Magnolia Springs, her perfectly planned Christmas begins to slip gloriously out of control. 
 
A tipsy evening at the local bar leads her to Oliver Lynch - charming, warm, and far too easy to talk to. He’s a single dad with a smile that could melt the snowdrifts, and before she knows it, Holly’s confessing more than she ever intended: about her difficult family, her dislike of kids, and how skating, not skiing, has always been her secret joy. When Oliver teases her about it, she drags him out to the frozen lake to prove it, only to realise she’s skating dangerously close to falling for him. 
 
When heavy snowfall and a broken-down car leave Holly stuck in Magnolia Springs for the holidays, she discovers that the town, and Oliver, might just be the home she’s been searching for all along. But with Christmas fast approaching and her family expecting her to join them, Holly will have to decide whether to return to the life she knows… or stay where her heart has finally begun to thaw.
