Man up and come out of hiding -- or the dream dies.

Rufus Miller traded New York fame and glamour for the peace and silence of the Black Hills. Knocked off his pinnacle of success by a diagnosis of skin cancer, he's found purpose crafting Dream Houses -- rustic forest cottages where people tuck their wishes down tiny chimneys. But he's not making them for himself.

Every sale brings him closer to keeping his promise of building a home-away-from-home for families with children being treated at the hospital where his brother died. Thanks to a greedy money manager, Rufus is racing against time and a dwindling bank account. Accessing the global Christmas market could save everything -- if he can find someone to help him sell his art without exposing the identity he's worked so hard to bury.

Enter Rachel Grey, starting over after a soul-crushing divorce from her charismatic pro golfer husband. She's walked away from a high-finance career she despised, and is desperate to prove she can rebuild herself on her own terms.

Is her new client a living, breathing Sasquatch -- or Santa Claus in the making?

When Rachel discovers Rufus's handcrafted Dream Houses, she sees her golden ticket to a splashy marketing win. There's just one problem: the hirsute, monosyllabic artist behind them would rather stay hidden than step into any spotlight.

As they begin to work together, Rachel finds herself drawn to the quiet strength behind his walls. And Rufus, who swore he'd never let anyone close again, discovers that Rachel sees him for who he is... or, rather, the man she thinks he is. With a holiday gala looming, Rufus must choose: protect his secret and lose everything, or risk his heart and his identity for the legacy that matters most -- and the woman who's shown him that healing isn't the same as hiding and second chances come in unexpected packages.

Savor this sweet holiday romance where a bit of Christmas magic reminds two lost souls that love is the reason for the season.
