She's assigned to decorate the historic Heron Hall for the public house tour, but there's one catch: the new owner is Jay Gamble, an outspoken TV pundit...and her childhood nemesis.

Lainey is determined not to let Jay dampen her Christmas spirit, even if he is handsome and charming.

Sparks fly.

Lainey has mixed emotions when she discovers he doesn't remember knowing her from their teenage years. As the two of them work together to decorate the house, Lainey begins to see Jay in a new light. He's kind, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful. And the two definitely share chemistry.

Can she overcome the past?

Lainey knows there are secrets between them, and she's not sure she can trust him completely. With the festival just around the corner, she must decide whether to follow her heart or lose a chance at finding true love.
