When Morgan lands a live-in nanny position to pay for grad school, she's mortified to discover her new boss is the woman from last night's steamy encounter—but they both agree to leave that behind and focus on the job. As the holidays approach, Lucy begins expressing her growing feelings through a series of carefully chosen books, counting down the 24 days to Christmas with cryptic literary love notes. Morgan is desperate to decode whether Lucy's messages are genuine feelings or just friendly gestures, and as Christmas inches closer, both women must decide if they're brave enough to risk everything for a chance at real love. It's a cozy, heartwarming story about second chances, the magic of the season, and finding your person in the most unexpected places.
