A rugged Daddy and a restless Little find the love they’ve both been searching for.

Aiden

I always dreamed of escaping the small town of Juniper Hollow for something bigger and brighter. My college graduation marked the start of that journey, but as I waited for the call about my dream job, I found myself back home, just in time for the holidays. I never expected to meet Levi. The rugged new owner of the Christmas tree farm, he seems as anchored to this town as the trees he cares for. And I’m drawn to him.

Levi

My life revolves around the farm, and the simplicity of small-town living. But from the moment Aiden stumbles into it, I feel a fierce protective instinct and an attraction that’s hard to ignore. As Christmas unfolds, we find ourselves navigating our growing feelings and a Daddy/Little dynamic I didn’t know I was craving. And I’m starting to see that my heart is in more than just the farm—I’m in love with Aiden’s spark, and I can’t imagine life without him. But Aiden’s dream job out of state threatens to pull him away from me. Will our love be strong enough to withstand the pull of our different dreams, or will it be as fleeting as the first snowfall?

Two shattered hearts, one small town, and a love they never expected to find again.

Taran

Losing Royce shattered me. My husband, my best friend, gone too soon because I missed the signs—missed how deep his pain went. Now it’s just me and twelve-year-old Rory, my son, my heart, and I’m doing everything I can to give him the life he deserves. But no matter how many shifts I work, it never feels like enough. Getting denied the loan to start my own bakery? It’s just another blow. I wanted to create something stable for my son, a future for us. But that dream’s slipping through my fingers. Then Royce’s best friend Wynter walks back into my life looking every bit as lost as I feel. He disappeared shortly after the funeral. I should be furious with him, but every time he’s near, I feel things I haven’t felt in years.

Wynter

My return to Aspen Ridge was supposed to be a fresh start after a hard-earned military retirement, but instead, I found my wife pregnant with another man’s child, leaving me with a broken heart and a future I never anticipated. Now, everything I used to know about my life is gone. And here I am, standing in front of Royce’s husband again. The man I swore to look out for, and yet I failed him too. Life has dealt hit after hit to Taran. Hes strong, but I can see the cracks forming. As the snow falls and Christmas draws near, something between us is starting to thaw. It’s terrifying, but maybe we can heal each other’s wounds. Because second chances don’t come around often. And in this small town, maybe we’ll find the love we never thought we’d have again.

This Christmas, love takes the form of a Daddy who’ll give a boy the care and protection he craves.

Nicholas

I’ve spent the last six years putting my dreams on hold, raising my little brother Aiden after our mom died. Now he’s off to college, but it still feels like I’m carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. Then I meet him—Markus Webber, the new doctor at the senior living facility where I work. He’s thoughtful and caring in a way I can’t let myself rely on… but when he calls me Nicky, something shifts inside me. Maybe for once, I don’t have to be the one holding everything together.

Markus

After my last relationship fell apart, I needed a fresh start. Taking over the elder care home in this small town seemed like the perfect escape. What I didn’t expect was Nicky. The care assistant has a smile that lights up the whole room, but he puts everyone else before himself. The more I’m around him, the more protective I feel, even though opening my heart again is terrifying. The matchmaking seniors at the home sure don’t help—they seem determined to push us together at every turn. But can a Daddy like me, who’s been through his share of heartache, really be what the stubborn boy needs? And does he even know what he’s looking for?

A fake relationship with real consequences—will love be enough to heal the wounds of the past?

Creed

I’ve hit rock bottom.

Dishonorably discharged, haunted by my time in the military, and freezing my ass off sleeping in the backseat of my car, I’m barely surviving.

Then a chance encounter with enigmatic billionaire Avery Branson results in an unbelievable offer I cant refuse—pose as his boyfriend for his high-society family, and in return, I’ll get the money I desperately need.

It sounds simple enough, but there’s one problem: I’ve spent my whole life pretending to be someone I’m not, and hes asking me to show the part of me I swore no one would ever see.

But the more time I spend with him, the harder it is to remember why Im pretending.

He’s everything I shouldn’t want, but somehow, I can’t stay away.

Avery

Creed is the last person I expected to fall for—rough around the edges, emotionally closed off, and clearly running from something.

But with my mother pressuring me to get married for the good of the family business, I needed someone who could play the part, and Creed was desperate enough to accept.

I thought I could keep things simple, strictly business.

But every time I peel back another layer of his armor, I want more.

And I’m starting to think this fake relationship might be the most real thing I’ve ever had.

If only his past didn’t threaten to rip us apart before we even begin.

They come from different worlds, but their hearts beat in perfect harmony.

Savion

Once upon a time, my life was a fairytale. Engaged to a beautiful woman, we were planning our perfect future. Then, the sick act of an obsessed man ruined everything. Alone, disfigured, and betrayed, I fled to LA to focus on my work as a paleontologist.

It was there I met Declan.

The gorgeous Viking of a man awakens feelings within me I never knew existed. But no one could ever see beyond my scars, so how can I let myself get close to him?

Declan

Savion is unlike anyone I've ever met. The pain of his past allows him to understand my upbringing in a way no one has before. As I get to know him, I'm awakened to the possibility that I'm bi.

I know a relationship with me would be a lot for him to endure. Not only am I much older than him, but my life in the limelight comes with a lot of media attention that can feel stifling. Even so, there's something about Savvy that makes me ache to protect him.

Whether he realizes it or not, Im in deep and already hooked. For him, I will risk it all to prove my love. Will the stars align for us or burn out far too soon?

As captain of the LA Grizzlies, Ryan ‘Ry' Bennett's life is all about hockey and pushing himself to the limit. A future in the major leagues would fulfill his life-long dream, but at 32, it seems like a far-off goal, especially as he watches younger, more promising players earn their chance.

Then he skates into Ry's life.

From their first clash at training camp to the late-night conversations that reveal the man beneath the surface, Ry finds himself drawn to Xander in ways he can't explain. Xander's everything Ry's not – carefree, optimistic, and unapologetically himself.

Ry never thought he'd find love, especially with a man. But Xander shows him that love doesn't care about expectations or pasts.

It just is.

When a league shake-up threatens to tear them apart, Ry knows he can't let go without a fight. Because in the end, love isn't about the games we play. It's about the person we choose to stand with, no matter what.
