A Christmas Wish…
Abby Powell needs a fresh start for herself and her son. Agreeing to nurse her best friend’s grandmother is the perfect escape. Abby knows her friend’s grandmother, Winnie, lives in a gorgeous sprawling Victorian mansion, Holiday House, in an historic Colorado ski town. What better place to create the perfect Christmas for her son.
As soon as she arrives in the charming town, Silver Bells, Abby falls in love with Winnie. She is less enamored with Winnie’s grandson, Ethan Lancaster as it becomes immediately clear that he doesn’t want her there. But also clear is that Winnie doesn’t need medical care. She does need Abby’s help, though. In just under three weeks, Holiday House will open to the public for a week of Christmas tours, and the entire house needs to be decorated.
Amidst the epic festive task, Abby and Ethan grow closer. But can Abby fall in love when she’s leaving right after Christmas? Underneath the Christmas lights Abby must decide if a Christmas at Holiday House has given her everything she needs for Christmas … and forever.

Lucy's brother, Ethan, wants his grandmother to move into an assisted living center, but Winnie has other plans including setting up him up with Abby. Abby gets roped into helping with a fundraiser tour of Winnie's mansion, and sparks fly when Ethan agrees to help out. But Abby's still struggling to move on after her husband's death and planning to move to Austin after the holidays, leaving little room for new attachments.

Meanwhile, Lucy struggles with her commitment phobia and her growing attraction to Ethan's best friend, Jos Navarro. Fun descriptions of holiday festivities and winter sports add to the atmosphere.
