A flirty text. A wrong number. A holiday mix-up that might just be the best thing to ever land in Holly Carter's inbox.
With ten days left before winter break, high school English teacher Holly Carter is hanging on by a thread—and a thermos of peppermint cocoa. But when a message meant for her best friend accidentally lands in a stranger's hands, Holly finds herself swept into late-night chats with a mystery man who quotes books and makes her laugh harder than she has in months.
Nick Armstrong didn't plan to stay long in Whispering Falls. He's just here to help his aunt fix up her cottage before the holidays. But an unexpected text from "some overly festive person named Holly" quickly becomes the highlight of his day. Between trivia nights, tangled garlands, and one snow-drenched dance floor, he begins to suspect the charming teacher he keeps bumping into might be the same Holly lighting up his phone.
As snow falls and secrets unravel, Holly must decide if she's ready to turn the page—and find out if her texting crush and the real-life guy stealing her heart... are one and the same.
