An age-old family feud keeps them apart. Can the spirit of Christmas bring them together?
Francesca Costa is a spontaneous, lively chef who escapes to the mountains to get some space from the demands of her family and job after she loses the lease on her restaurant. She wants to regroup and figure out her next steps. What she doesnβt expect is the bear on the front porch of the family cabin or the bear of a man who comes to her rescue.
Rocky Hawkins is a serious, private mountain man who once had it all: a successful hockey career and heir to the Hawkins family fortune. After his father added a stipulation to his will, he and his brothers went their separate ways, breaking the family apart. He escaped to the mountains to live a quiet life. Then a beautiful woman moves in next door.
She brings him cookies to say thank you for scaring off a bear. Itβs the neighborly thing to do. He only resists because the Costa and Hawkins families are not supposed to like each other.
But itβs nearly Christmas. The time of forgiveness, family...and food. She doesnβt want him to be alone and her attempt to reunite them over a meal fails. He just wonβt let any sweetness into his life, but he does want her even though sheβs not looking for a relationship. Theyβre not looking for a miracle, but they might just need one.
