When Margo crosses the finish line of her half marathon—determined to prove her doubts wrong—a handsome paramedic literally catches her as she collapses. Their electric connection continues when they meet again the next night at a bar, but there's a complication: he's her ex-boyfriend's father, and he's sixteen years her senior. What starts as one unforgettable night becomes something neither of them wants to end, as Finn makes it clear he's ready to keep her around for much longer than the holidays. With genuine chemistry and a dash of festive cheer, this is a swoony romance about second chances and finding love in the most unexpected places.
