A Secret Santa Christmas

Noelle Ivey sacrificed everything for the career she'd built in Manhattan. But when a corporate scandal leaves her reputation in ruins, she's forced to walk away from the only life she's ever known.
With nowhere else to turn, Noelle accepts her father's offer to run her late grandmother's yarn shop in the charming town of Holly Haven. There's just one problem—she doesn't know a knitting needle from a crochet hook. Determined to rebuild her life, she throws herself into learning the business and adjusting to small-town life, even if she feels like a fish out of water. The biggest challenge? Everyone in Holly Haven loves Christmas, and Christmas has never been Noelle's thing.
Gabriel Reyes, director of the Holly Haven Community Center, thrives on family traditions, community spirit, and making the holidays magical for everyone around him. Though his life is full of purpose, he's still searching for someone special to share it with. When the beautiful but guarded new yarn shop owner arrives in town, Gabe is surprised to discover that helping Noelle embrace the spirit of the season quickly becomes his favorite holiday project.
Then Noelle uncovers a secret hidden among her grandmother's files: for decades, Grammie had been Holly Haven's anonymous Secret Santa, quietly making sure families in need had food on their tables and gifts beneath their trees. Determined to honor her grandmother's legacy, Noelle takes on the role herself—with help from a few trusted elves.
As Christmas approaches, Noelle discovers that family, friendship, and love can heal even the oldest hurts. But when Gabe learns her secret, will he understand why she kept it hidden—or will Noelle lose the one thing she never realized she wanted?
In Holly Haven, sometimes the greatest Christmas gift is finding where—and with whom—you truly belong.
