Wrapped Up in Christmas
Eight years of unanswered Christmas cards. One chance to finally write back.
Hallie Dawson has spent nearly a decade sending Christmas cards to her childhood friend Chase Montgomery, pouring her heart into every carefully chosen word while never receiving a single response. As the beloved owner of “Wrapped Up in Christmas” and the driving force behind Operation Christmas Cheer, she’s become the heart and soul of the magical mountain town of Mistletoe Falls—but her own heart remains carefully guarded, wounded by abandonment and afraid to hope for love again.
When Chase steps off the Greyhound bus after twelve years in the Marines, he’s carrying more than just his duffel bag. In his hands is a thick stack of every card Hallie ever sent him—proof that her faithful love mattered even when he was too afraid to write back. Now he’s home to help his aging parents with their beloved toy store, but he’s also running from a failed marriage and a pattern of leaving when relationships get too real.
Their reunion ignites sparks that have been smoldering for years.
Thrown together as partners for the town’s most important Christmas charity event, Hallie and Chase must navigate the tender space between friendship and forever. Through torch-lit ice skating sessions, snowman building contests, and quiet coffee conversations that stretch long into snowy evenings, they rediscover the easy compatibility that made them inseparable as children—and the electric attraction that makes them perfect as adults.
But just as Hallie begins to believe that Chase might actually stay this time, he drops a bombshell that threatens to shatter her heart all over again: he’s been offered a job in Nashville. Once again, she’s faced with watching the man she loves walk away, and Chase must choose between the safety of running and the courage required to build something lasting.
In Mistletoe Falls, Christmas miracles happen to those brave enough to believe.
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Great Smoky Mountains, where snow falls like magic and twinkling lights transform every street corner into a winter wonderland, this is a story about second chances, faithful hearts, and the kind of love that’s worth waiting for. As Hallie and Chase work together to bring Christmas joy to their entire community, they’ll discover that home isn’t a place—it’s the person who chooses to stay.
