Billionaire hotel heir Cole Belmont never wanted to spend Christmas alone, but his father's last wish is for Cole to find real love and build a family. Still haunted by the heartbreak of his ex-fiancée, Hope Morgan, disappearing from Belmont three years ago, Cole has shut his heart to romance. But when Hope unexpectedly returns just as snow begins to fall and twinkling lights decorate the town, Cole’s world is turned upside down.
Hope Morgan arrives back in Belmont with a secret—her young daughter, whose father is none other than Cole. As Christmas traditions bring them together—from decorating the towering tree in the Belmont mansion to sharing mugs of hot chocolate by the fire—Hope yearns to reveal the truth but fears the consequences. With the warmth of the holiday season and the magic of family filling the air, will forgiveness and love finally reunite Cole and Hope, giving them the Christmas they both deserve?
