✦ Synopsis

Harper McCleary has it all. She’s a Broadway star, her apartment has a view to die for, and the most eligible bachelor in New York City is pursuing her. However, she is looking forward to spending the Christmas holidays in her childhood home of Simmons Ridge, North Carolina. She yearns for the restorative power of ‘her’ mountain, and the wisdom of her Grammy Nell. But before she can get there, Harper gets a disturbing call. Her grandmother has died under suspicious circumstances.
Cade Everett, an ex-NYPD detective, fled the big city for reasons of his own. His life has taken a turn for the better as the manager of a Christmas tree farm. He especially appreciates the wise guidance of his boss, Nell Simmons. When she dies, he is determined to find out who could have murdered his friend.
Despite Cade’s reluctance, Nell’s granddaughter, Harper (whom he privately nicknamed ‘the diva’) is determined to help. Harper is just as repelled by the arrogant ex-cop. Because of their mutual love for Nell, they set aside their personal feelings and put their heads together. The first break comes when they discover that Nell hired a private investigator. Just whose trail was Nell following? And why?
The answer to that question is shocking and leads to even more danger. Cade and Harper need to work quickly. Or there may be another murder...M.F
