Holly and Ivar

She runs the family toy company like a Fortune 500 CEO. He talks to pine trees. Obviously, they're meant to fall in love.

Holly Kringle doesn't have time for snowy festivals, small-town charm, or mysterious park rangers with strong opinions about tree preservation. She's in Winterwood, Vermont for one reason only: to scout a location for a new toy manufacturing site and get back to work.

But Ivar Nilsen has other ideas—mostly involving protecting the forest, finding a tree from his childhood that may or may not glow, and figuring out why Holly is so tightly wound.

As holiday magic stirs and secrets begin to surface, Holly starts to wonder if there's more to life than spreadsheets... and more to Ivar than plaid and pine needles.

This brand new standalone book in the Kringle Cousin universe promises a heartwarming romance filled with small-town charm, snowy adventures, and just the right touch of Christmas magic.
