There, she crosses paths with Stephan Midwinter, an animal-rescuing artist with lumberjack good looks, a reputation with women that stretches a mile long, and a whole lot of magic that Hayleigh wants nothing to do with.

As Hayleigh and Stephan face ancestral secrets, mischievous holiday spirits, and being snowed into the world's kitschiest holiday train B&B, Hayleigh finds her heart opening to magic, and to Stephan Midwinter. But Stephan and his way of life are in direct opposition to everything Hayleigh's been taught to want, and old habits die hard.
