Five years ago, Dr. Lindsey Haggerty inherited her late father’s veterinary clinic, and with it, a constant reminder of how quickly she could lose those she loves most. So when a handsome new client asks her out, she's quick to shut it down. It’s Christmastime, and Lindsey’s only focus is making new holiday memories with the remaining members of the Haggerty clan—if only she could get her stubborn, heart-sick mom on board.

MJ Haggerty is still clinging to the beautiful life she shared with her late husband, but when she discovers Lindsey is burying the crush she has on the town's newest firefighter, the chance to meddle in her head-strong, independent, and chronically single eldest daughter’s life might be just the incentive she needs to come out of hibernation.

Not to be out-meddled, Lindsey seeks revenge by asking for help keeping an adorable puppy with an appetite for destruction. What Lindsey doesn’t anticipate is her mom hitting it off with the pup’s retired owner. As unexpected connections spark for mother and daughter, they each find themselves torn between the comfort of the familiar and the promise of what could be for Christmases to come.

This contemporary holiday romance is ~350 pages with no spice, following the stories of two women.
