Christmas in Cardwick

Love. Christmas. Second chances. Heartbreak. Greyson Reeves. These are the things Chanel Baldwin has quit. As far as she's concerned, Greyson Reeves is The Grinch Who Stole Romance-a.k.a. the guy that broke her heart. Since then, music's been her main squeeze, and she's become one of the most renowned flutists in the world, traveling the globe for performances. When Chanel finally makes it home for the holidays, her meddling mother asks her to help write a song for the neighboring towns' annual "Song of the Season" Contest. All Chanel wants to do is get the holidays over with, but she agrees to help-only to discover that the person she's helping is The Grinch himself, Greyson. She's not expecting her heart to drop the equivalent of ten stories when she sees Greyson-or that the more time they spend together writing songs, the harder it is to stick to that quit list.

One look at Chanel after so many years and Greyson Reeves is done for, never mind how many times he's talked himself into believing their epic love story was over. It was his fault things ended anyway. Chanel was going to travel the world as a principal flute with cream-of-the-crop orchestras, and he was going to do the same as a conductor. It would already be tough to make it work, and he wasn't about to stand in her way back then. Fate had not ruled in their favor. And it broke his heart too. But now? Let's just say working with her for the annual Song of the Seasons Contest isn't just creating a song on paper but in his heart.

What if the same person who splintered your heart is the same one piecing it back together?
