Fresh off a layoff, Megan Dunn leaves Manhattan to settle her late aunt's estate: list the hardware store, sign the papers, and get out before the snow means anything. But Keeler Falls does not do quick. The diner writes your order down before you say it. The bakery's neon never goes off. The whole of Main Street is lit a week before Thanksgiving, and nobody can tell her who pays for it.
Then there is Jeff Yates, the quiet man two stools down at Edna's, who fixes what needs fixing, shows up before he is asked, and cannot take a thank-you to save his life. The longer Megan stays, the more the town feels like a place instead of a listing. And when a developer slides a gold-foil offer across her counter, staying or selling stops being a math problem.
Because Megan has started asking the question nobody in Keeler Falls thinks to ask: who is behind all of it? She came to price a building. The town, and the man, run on a different currency. A sweet, closed-door small-town Christmas romance with a complete happily-ever-after.
