Evie Hawkins' dream of opening her own, fully restored historic inn is within reach. The only missing piece? An amazing chef to run her kitchen and draw customers in. Never in a million years would Evie suspect that her dream lies in the hands of world-renowned chef Noah Pearson, who happens to be her extremely good looking and charismatic ex-boyfriend. She never thought he would come back to Hollybury-especially after she broke up with him seven years ago and effectively shattered their epic love story. Noah could be good for business, but the job isn't necessarily the only reason Noah came back.
Noah has always been talented and ambitious with his career goals. After his dream of becoming an NFL quarterback was ripped from his grasp, he set his sights on his other dream-going to culinary school in New York in hopes of one day becoming a professional chef. Evie was a part of both of those dreams once upon a time and he is determined, with the help of a little Christmas magic, to get a second chance with the only girl he ever loved.
Under a trial basis until their soft opening on Christmas Eve, Noah starts working at an inn. Being around Noah resurrects old feelings and uproots fears that Evie has harbored since he left. Despite the charming and magnetic essence that is Noah Pearson, Evie cannot get one thought out of her head-is he going to stay this time?
A night in a snowed-in bed and breakfast forces them to confront their past and reopen wounds that never fully healed in hopes that, maybe, their love can survive a second chance. With their walls all torn down, can they rebuild the broken pieces of their love story back together and turn it into something more beautiful than it was before and ignite a romance for the ages?
