Nothing says Christmas like a heart ready to crack open.

Lo Carson thought the nutcrackers her Grams sent every Christmas would stop after Grams passed-yet four years later, they still arrive on schedule. This year, the latest comes with urgent letters from beyond the grave and a lot of questions about the family bookstore Lo thought was sold long ago.

Determined to find answers, Lo returns to Riverbend Springs, Iowa-the hometown she swore off-and promptly runs into Liam White, her former best friend turned resident grump...now a single dad to a glitter-loving five-year-old.

As Lo follows Grams's clues, she uncovers more than small-town secrets. There's Liam's unexpected sweetness, a pint-sized matchmaker, and a town eager to pull her back into its twinkle-lit embrace.

With gingerbread lattes, bookshop revelations, and one meddling, ghostly grandmother nudging her along, Lo must decide if home is where you run from-or the place (and the person) you're meant to return to.
