Last summer's secret becomes this Christmas's sweetest surprise.

Six months ago, Eloise had a one-night stand with a charming stranger and never expected to see him again—especially after sneaking out without so much as a goodbye. Now, with Christmas around the corner, last summer's secret is about to surface in the most unexpected way.

The holiday season is meant to be the most wonderful time of the year, but for Dr. Eloise Parker, it's overshadowed by the demands of her residency and a relationship maintained more for her parents' sake than her own happiness. Her true passion, baking, remains a sidelined dream.

She's looking forward to a low-key Christmas in the charming town of Maple Hollow with her best friend, Susie. But her plans take a surprising turn when she comes face to face with Trevor Hall—Susie's brother and her one-night stand.

Trevor, anticipating a serene holiday before his nomadic adventures, finds his plans thrown into disarray by Eloise's arrival. Their brief, fiery past encounter left an indelible mark, reigniting a mix of old emotions and unanswered questions.

Through Eloise and Trevor's alternating perspectives, this story delicately weaves together the threads of personal growth and the enduring magic of the holiday season, reminding us that sometimes the greatest gifts are the ones we never anticipated.
