He has all he wants for Christmas. But she’s got what he needs.
Shane Cassidy’s wish list is short this year. The young widower just wants his little daughter to be happy, and his quiet son to come out of his room once in a while. Shane is determined to be there every minute for his kids, but when he runs into big trouble with the family horse farm around Christmas time, he realizes they just might need a helping hand.
It turns out, hiring a new nanny might wind him up in a whole new kind of trouble.
Natalie Bell, his best friend’s little sister, is home from the city and looking for work. He can’t turn down the sweet, feisty girl he’s always had a secret crush on. And he certainly can’t lay a hand on Chris Bell’s little sister.
But how is he supposed to resist falling for her, when he sees the way she loves his kids?
Shane’s past was touched by tragedy, and his present is full of challenges. And Natalie has some broken dreams of her own. Will the Cassidy crew scare the new nanny away before she can get settled in? Or might Natalie be the key to making their new house finally feel like a home for the holidays?

I feel like I just finshed watching a Hallmark movie, sigh!!!! What a wonderful sweet romance with all the feels of loving agian after loss, family, friends and the hoilday season.
Single dad Shane is doing what he can to provide the best life for his children since the loss of their mother. Thankful for his parents and all their help but running the farm sometimes take more time than he wants to give. He tries so hard to make certain he spends time with his kids and the farm isn't resented. When finding labour help for the holiday season doesn't pan out as he expected, he tries another route and convinces his best friends sister to work as his nanny.
Natalie is struggling with the recent loss of her Nana, who raised her and her brother after the loss of her parents. Returning to Trinity Falls for Nana was never a question but it also feels like defeat as she doesn't have a music career to head back to. Deciding on staying and finding work was hard but she needs to work to get Nana's house prepared for the market. With her brother still over seas in the military it fall on her shoulders. They say when one door closes another door opens.
The more time Shane and Natalie spend together the more old crushes from days past start to wake up. Shane has some feelings to sort through about his wife and moving forward and finding love again. Natalie envelopes the children as if they were her own, fighting for them, encouraging them to open up and be true to their hearts. Could their be a new love in the air?
