Running the family B&B has always been Cassidy Ryan's dream. But first, she has to save it from neglect. Closing the doors to the Silver Bell Inn for the holiday seasons seems like the perfect plan to give the B&B some much needed love and care. Or at least it would be if the inn didn't need a lot more work than Cassidy can handle on her own. She needs help. But asking it is the last thing she wants to do. Getting stuck in Silver Bell Falls was not part of Beckham Allen's plans. Neither was this cross-country road trip, for that matter. He was supposed to be focusing on himself and on healing after the loss of his father. But nothing, not even his rescue dog Mazie, seems to be able to break him out of his funk. Or so he thought until he met the sweet innkeeper who takes him in. After an awkward start, Cassidy and Beckham discover the perks of being snowed in together. And with Christmas drawing closer, they find they may have just been given the greatest gift of all.

Grace plans to marry the host of their Christmas house party. Ezra has only until it ends to convince her otherwise. Lord Ezra Weston has done something incredibly stupid. Through a series of events he prefers not to consider too closely, he has begun a written correspondence with Miss Grace Stewart under the guise of being his own sister. She's witty, considerate, and as much in need of a friend as he is. So, why not continue? That is, until Grace writes and says she's set her cap at someone.
