Can the spirit of Christmas bring them together? Francesca Costa is a spontaneous, lively chef who escapes to the mountains to get some space from the demands of her family and job after she loses the lease on her restaurant. She wants to regroup and figure out her next steps. What she doesn’t expect is the bear on the front porch of the family cabin or the bear of a man who comes to her rescue. Rocky Hawkins is a serious, private mountain man who once had it all: a successful hockey career and heir to the Hawkins family fortune.

Then a beautiful woman moves in next door. She brings him cookies to say thank you for scaring off a bear. It’s the neighborly thing to do. He only resists because the Costa and Hawkins families are not supposed to like each other. But it’s nearly Christmas. The time of forgiveness, family...and food.
