It’s Christmastime again in Silver Bell Falls, and the whole town is getting in the spirit to help ballet teacher Abby Foster achieve her dream of opening her own dance studio! Teaching ballet to children at the community center is fine, but she’s hoping for so much more—her own studio, her own business...not to mention maybe meeting Mr. Right and having a family of her own. And for almost a year, she’s been picturing reclusive Dean Hayes in that role... Solitude and Dean Hayes have always gone hand-in-hand. It hasn’t been by choice—circumstances beyond his control make it that way. Just in time for the holidays, he becomes the permanent guardian of his five-year-old niece. He’d always imagined he’d have a family of his own—just not quite like this. With the support of his hometown friends, he knows it’s going to be okay. But it’s Abby’s help with his niece that makes the biggest difference... This isn’t the Christmas either Abby or Dean had planned, but maybe it’s the chance for the most perfect one yet!
