When a jaded ghost assigned to haunt a woman for Christmas realizes she's nothing like the selfish targets he usually encounters, his carefully mapped-out eternity suddenly feels negotiable. Harriet has spent her whole life playing it safe and people-pleasing, so when the charming (and slightly exasperated) Nolan shows up to dredge up her past, she's shocked to discover they share a connection that runs deeper than either of them expected. As Christmas Eve ticks closer and they delve into the memories that shaped them both, an undeniable spark ignites between two souls who thought they had their futures all figured out—or at least resigned to them. This cozy, magical romance proves that sometimes the best gifts come wrapped in unexpected second chances.
