Newly single lawyer Gwen Baker is hoping that a family Christmas—countryside, a mountain of food and festive films—will salve the sting of her career hanging by a thread and her heart being trampled on. Because everyone else has their life sorted: even Dev, her boy-next-door crush, is now a tall, dark and handsome stranger with a fiancée. She can’t help wishing her future was clearer.

Then Gwen wakes up to discover it’s Christmas day all over again. Like Groundhog Day but with eggnog. And family arguments. On repeat.

As she figures out how to escape her own particular Christmas hell, Dev is the one bright spot. He might be all grown-up but underneath he’s just as kind and funny as she remembers.

Maybe, just maybe, her heart can be mended after all.

A woman who loves her child-free life falling for a divorced dad?
What could go wrong?

It’s no accident Andie Werking’s life looks a lot like her handmade goods boutique, fun, stylish and sassy. At thirty-eight, she knows herself and what she loves: expensive coffee, starting work around lunchtime, and late nights reading while snuggling with her spoiled Corgis. Building her business, cultivating strong friendships, making her adorable bungalow a home, and digging into a progressive church has taken passion and perseverance, and she’s got plenty of both.

However, her aversion to babies, children, and everything babies-and-children related has left Andie single for far longer than she ever anticipated. That all changes when funny, kind and stupidly handsome Dr. Joe walks into her life, bringing his custody agreement and three spirited children with him.
