When widowed single mom Megan Findley moves to the charming seaside town of Palmar Island, she hopes to give her daughter Ruby a fresh start. Struggling to rebuild her life, Megan takes an unexpected job as Santa’s elf at the town’s beloved Christmas Village. She doesn’t expect to find herself drawn to the man behind the red suit.

Scott Hunter loves everything about being Santa—from the twinkle in children’s eyes to the joy of spreading Christmas cheer. But this year, playing Santa isn’t quite the same. That is, until Megan and Ruby enter his life. Megan’s determination and Ruby’s infectious laughter spark something in Scott he thought he’d never feel again: hope.

As Christmas approaches, Megan is torn between a promising career opportunity in San Diego and the growing connection she feels to Scott—and to the small town that’s beginning to feel like home. Can Megan and Scott take a leap of faith to embrace the possibility of love, or will the season’s magic pass them by?
