Secrets and Christmas Magic
Terri McMillan craves a fresh start from the city's relentless grind. When she stumbles upon a charming farmhouse nestled in the salt marsh, a dormant dream stirs inside her. The large home, despite its faded paint and lopsided shutters, offers a chance to foster troubled teens. There's just one hitch. Her estranged sister has claimed the coastal town for herself, a place where Terri feels anything but welcome. But the house is known to have Christmas magic, not that Terri believes in fairy tales or happily ever afters.
Matt Baker, the nostalgic owner, offers a deal before he sells the home. He'll renovate the house in exchange for Terri hosting one last family Christmas at the homestead. Sparks fly as they clash over restoration details, their undeniable chemistry simmering beneath the surface. But when they find a dusty hatbox in the attic, revealing a treasure trove of letters and a diary written during the Vietnam War, a past love story unfolds and family secrets are unearthed.
As the magic of Christmas intensifies, can Terri and Matt find solace in unexpected places, even if they find themselves questioning everything they know about love, family, and the power of holiday charm?
