Christmas Old and New

A year ago, Rafferty Cartier relocated to Dickens to follow his dream of opening a gift shop, Artisan Elegance. Formerly a museum curator, he left his previous role under uncertain circumstances and started anew in Dickens. There, he began making wooden toys and developed a close friendship with the town's handyman, who refurbishes vintage toys and produces beautiful handmade items.

Rafe is getting ready to launch a new shop section called Christmas Old and New but urgently needs assistance during the busy holiday season. When Olivia Karlson applies for a job, he hesitates between politely refusing and offering her the position. Livvy knows the reason behind his previous firing.

A picture of her great-great-grandfather inspired Olivia Karlson to explore Dickens, leading her to become the curator of a new local museum. Since the position is only part-time, she seeks additional employment, and a friend suggests she apply to Artisan Elegance. Unexpectedly, she reencounters Rafferty Cartier—three years after he broke her heart.

She moved to Dickens to begin anew. Olivia also kept secrets that could jeopardize their friendship if he found out what she had done... Do they deserve another shot? Christmas is often seen as a time of miracles. Could Dickens be the place to discover their miracle?
