Lily Hartley arrives in Maple Hollow for a fresh start, not a clash with Cole Maddox, the grumpy woodworking shop owner who wants nothing to do with Valentine’s Day. When the cheerful festival coordinator is forced to partner with the emotionally guarded Cole, late nights and fake dating spark something neither expected. But with Lily protecting her daughter and Cole haunted by loss, both are determined to keep their hearts safe. As the festival approaches, they must decide if love is worth the risk or just another mess waiting to happen.
