A
beautiful hopeless romantic and her ex's guarded best friend return
home for the holidays and back into each other's lives in this festive,
bighearted, forbidden romance about letting go and letting fate.
Chiara Fortemani is home for the holidays—technically, her family's tiny villa—where she'll explore post-breakup digs and grow their vineyard's brand during Napa's annual Christmas food and wine festival. But as she interviews local wood craftsmen to curate custom gifts, she's shocked to run into Jameson West... her ex's best friend.
Jameson has loved Chiara since he carved her a birdhouse in woodshop. She's everything he ever wanted: beautiful, funny, loyal... but thanks to the bro code, off-limits. Now a rising investment banking star, Jameson's in town temporarily to help the family business tackle seasonal contracts. West Woodworks has been making Fortemani casks for ages, so the job will be easy. It's the unexpected reunion with newly single Chiara that has him on shaky ground.
As they design together, days in the lumberyard and nights on steamy calls create magic. When Jameson confesses his feelings, Chiara is amazed by this sweet, attentive man who always should've been her first choice. But Jameson is still her ex's best friend. Is uprooting her life for a man again a huge mistake...or a Christmas miracle?

My Review:
A beautiful love story with all the feels.
Former best friends, Chiara and Jameson, have had a secret
crush on each other for nearly all of their lives. But the timing just wasn’t right until they
both find their way back to their home town and pick up where their friendship
left off. They soon decide to take their
friendship to the next level. The story
wraps up, with an emotional Christmas Eve family get together with lots of
wonderful surprises.
I have been waiting for Chiara’s story since I first started reading this series and it was everything I could hope for.
