Single mother Sophie Beck is hoping that moving to the cozy little town of Twinkle Falls is just what her family needed to get them through a difficult time. As Christmas approaches, Sophie’s days are a haze of cupcake frosting, holiday cheer and preparing for the town’s festivities—but Christmas represents a piece of her that’s missing, a part of her past she must learn to face.

Mysterious, broody Pet Rescue volunteer Liam James helps Sophie find the new addition to their family...their dream dog Shelby, and Sophie can’t deny the impression he leaves on her—and on her children Zoey and Cam.

However, Liam, who is following direct orders from his Commanding Officer to take leave from the Air Force, will only be in town until the end of December. Begrudgingly, his guarded heart is slowly thawed by the warmth of the townsfolk around him, forcing him to reconsider what he wants out of life.

As he spends more and more time at Sophie’s bakery, enjoying her coffee and the festive atmosphere of Twinkle Falls, he begins to realize that it’s not just the coffee that brings him back every morning.

Will it take a magical Christmas for Sophie and Liam to realize that in order to be truly happy, all they need to do is take a chance?
