A Not So Cold Christmas
In the snow-blanketed town of Frostbite Ridge, Christmas is a time for family, tradition, and—if you ask Mara Jensen—a little healthy competition. As the proud owner of Holly Ridge Tree Farm, Mara is determined to make this holiday season her most successful yet. But standing in her way is Ethan Grayson, the rugged and charismatic owner of the town’s beloved Polar Bear Lodge. What starts as a friendly rivalry soon turns into something far more complicated when a sudden blizzard traps them together at the inn.
As the storm rages outside, the icy tension between Mara and Ethan begins to melt, revealing a simmering attraction that neither can deny. But Ethan is hiding a secret that could change everything—he’s a polar bear shifter, and his protective instincts are pushing him closer to Mara than ever before. Torn between his growing feelings and the need to protect his true nature, Ethan struggles to keep his shifter side hidden, even as he falls deeper for the woman who has unknowingly captured his heart.
When Mara overhears a conversation that makes her question Ethan’s intentions, she’s forced to confront the truth about their relationship—and about the man she’s falling for. With her heart and the future of Holly Ridge Tree Farm on the line, Mara must decide whether to trust Ethan and embrace the magic of Christmas, or protect herself from a love that might be more than she bargained for.
In a town where the winter winds can be bitter, can the warmth of love—and the revelation of Ethan’s true self—be enough to melt the ice between them? Join Mara and Ethan in this enchanting tale of love, secrets, and second chances, where Christmas miracles just might come true.
