About this ebook

Former Manhattan financial analyst Noelle Ivey thought leaving the city behind would only be temporary. But after a scandal at work destroys the career she loved, her father offers her a fresh start running her late grandmother’s yarn shop in the charming town of Holly Haven.

As Noelle struggles to find her footing in small-town life, she uncovers a decades-old Christmas secret hidden among her grandmother’s files. For years, Grammie quietly served as Holly Haven’s anonymous Secret Santa, making sure struggling families had gifts beneath the tree and food on their tables. Now, with Christmas fast approaching, Noelle is determined to continue the tradition. The problem? She has no idea how to run a secret holiday operation…or a yarn shop.

Community center director Gabriel Reyes is warm, handsome, and impossible to resist. As Gabe introduces Noelle to holiday traditions, tree decorating, and the magic of a close-knit community, she begins healing parts of her heart she didn’t realize were broken. But when Gabe discovers her connection to the mysterious Secret Santa deliveries, Noelle fears the truth could destroy the relationship she’s only beginning to trust.

With snow falling over Holly Haven and Christmas lights twinkling through town, Noelle must decide whether to keep hiding behind the role of Secret Santa—or finally open her heart to love, family, and the future waiting for her all along.

Perfect for fans of Hallmark-style romance, cozy holiday traditions, small-town charm, family healing, and heartwarming happily-ever-afters.

Former Manhattan financial analyst Noelle Ivey thought leaving the city behind would only be temporary. But after a scandal at work destroys the career she loved, her father offers her a fresh start running her late grandmother’s yarn shop in the charming town of Holly Haven. As Noelle struggles ...

This is the seventh book in the Dickens Holiday Romance series. I loved my trip to back to Dickens, its always fun when you see a previous character pop in, the holiday cheer and friendly small town vibe never fails to make me smile. No worries if you haven't read any of the other books in the series, this one can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you're looking for a heart warming holiday romance you'll love this book and the others in the series. Holly has moved to Dickens to run her grandma's yarn shop, needing a change after her career goes down in flames. Gabe is one of the first people she meets. He runs the community center and moved to Dickens a few years ago. Holly doesn't really have much experience with holidays, her family never really celebrated but her grandmas holiday secret, Gabe, and the community of Dickens teach her the true meaning of holiday spirit. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
