The Lights Of Maplewood Hollow

When New York event planner Claire Bennett receives an urgent call that her Aunt Maggie; who raised her; is injured and needs help running the Maplewood Inn, she reluctantly trades glittering city skylines for snow-covered Vermont hills. What she expects to be a quick trip turns into something far more complicated when she arrives in Maplewood Hollow, a postcard-perfect village where Christmas still feels like magic. The inn is charming but struggling, the annual Twelve Days of Christmas Festival teeters on the brink of cancellation, and Claire's career in the city is hanging by a thread. But then she meets Jack Turner, a widowed carpenter with a kind heart, a mischievous eight-year-old daughter, and a quiet strength that disarms her city-hard edges. As blizzards fall and the townsfolk rally to save their beloved festival, Claire finds herself swept into a world of handmade wreaths, candlelit carols, snowball fights, and second chances. Between Jack's laughter, Lily's innocent hope, and Maggie's unwavering faith, Claire begins to rediscover what she's lost; joy, home, and the kind of love that asks you to stay. But when her old life calls with one last dazzling opportunity; a London gala that could make her career; Claire must decide what truly defines success: the dream she built in the city or the life she's found beneath the Christmas lights of Maplewood Hollow. A heartwarming, small-town Christmas romance about love after loss, the courage to start over, and the beauty of finding home where you least expect it.
