Book Cover

Book Overview

A heart-warming small-town romance about friendship, community, and the courage to love. Rosie Plum fights to save her candy shop while clashing—and falling—for chocolatier Jack Kringle, all as a reporter threatens to expose the Kringle family’s magic before Valentine’s Day.

Detailed Book Description

Can love’s sweetness prevail even when the magic of Valentine’s Day is under threat?

In the charming town of Mistletoe, Alaska, where Santa’s Village brings joy all year round, Rosie Plum, a bubbly and optimistic confectioner, faces her biggest challenge yet. She must keep her beloved candy store afloat during the lean months after Christmas when there are few tourists about. Enter Jack Kringle, a skilled chocolatier whose presence stirs more than just confectionery creativity in Rosie. However, their working styles clash, igniting sparks that are both frustrating and undeniably romantic.

As February’s frost blankets Mistletoe, Rosie, and Jack’s world is further shaken by a determined reporter. She’s on a mission to unveil the magical secrets rumored to run in the Kringle family — secrets that, if brought to light, could shatter the Kringles and cast a shadow over the entire town.

As Valentine’s Day looms on the horizon, Rosie finds herself not only battling to save her store but also her budding romance, and the town she calls home. Unless Rosie can learn that success isn’t just about hard work; it’s about risk, trust, and opening your heart to the unexpected, she will lose everything.
