From the international bestselling author of The Christmas Contest and Jingle Bell Bride, Hallmark Channel original movies, comes a feel-good holiday romance full of hope, fun, and love just in time for the Christmas season.
What is Christmas without some healthy competition?
When successful Chicago sports journalist Dawson McLeod and botanist Piper Davis receive a mysterious summons to an attorney’s office, they learn they are the potential benefactors to a famous and reclusive author’s historic estate—including her mansion, famous gardens, greenhouses, and more. Neither of them has had any contact with the author of their favorite Christmas book since they were both scheduled to interview her as children. But only Piper, who arrived early, succeeded, much to Dawson’s envy.
Both Piper and Dawson have ideas for how they plan to benefit the community with their potential winnings, but the legacy has strings. The author has left them a series of clues to be solved around the city starting twenty days before Christmas. Once childhood rivals and now strangers, Dawson and Piper must work together to uncover the clues by Christmas if they want either of their dreams to come true.
Will working together during the most magical time of year open their hearts, or will their lingering feud get in the way?
