Morgan Ross can plan world-class events, but she didn't plan on returning to the hometown that broke her heart seven years ago - and re-discovering the girl of her dreams . . . With her career as a Los Angeles event planner imploding after a tabloid blowup, Morgan Ross isn't headed home for the holidays so much as in strategic retreat. Breathtaking mountain vistas, quirky townsfolk, and charming small businesses aside, her hometown of Fern Falls is built of one heartbreak on top of another . . . Take her one-time best friend turned crush, Rachel Reed. The memory of their perfect, doomed first kiss is still fresh as new-fallen snow. Way fresher than the freezing mud Morgan ends up sprawled in on her very first day back, only to be hauled out via Rachel's sexy new lumberjane muscles acquired from running her family tree farm. When Morgan discovers that the Reeds' struggling tree farm is the only thing standing between Fern Falls and corporate greed destroying the whole town's livelihood, she decides she can put heartbreak aside to save the farm by planning her best fundraiser yet. She has all the inspiration for a spectacular event: delicious vanilla lattes, acoustic guitars under majestic pines, a cozy barn surrounded by brilliant stars. But she and Rachel will ABSOLUTELY NOT have a heartwarming holiday happy ending. That would be as unprofessional as it is unlikely. Right? .........................................

Gorgeous evergreen forests are part of the tourist allure in picturesque Fern Falls - but this summer Ben Parrish is pining harder than any of them.

But now, despite his fear of failure, Ben's entered a competition to build his recipes into a national brand. He's going to take charge of his business. And he's going to finally confess his feelings for Adam - on LIVE TV. But, when all of that goes wrong, Ben dashes down the coast to hide his broken heart in Maywell Bay, California.

Instead, they blow in Adam Reed, grinning like a pirate and stealing the show as the musical entertainment hired for Ben's Grandma's 80th birthday party. With a bit of dutch courage, Ben has a decision to make. Can he take another chance on love, knowing all the risks that will follow? After all, maybe a little sea salt is just what this cinnamon roll needs . . . .........................................
