Emma Hartley thought she had left Willow Creek—and her first love—behind for good.

Ten years after leaving her hometown, successful event planner Emma Hartley returns to Willow Creek to rescue its beloved Christmas festival. She expects difficult budgets, impossible deadlines, and a town that refuses to change.

She doesn't expect Noah Bennett.

Noah is still the boy she remembers beneath the grown man's quiet strength—the boy she once loved before a painful misunderstanding tore them apart. Now he runs his family's Christmas tree farm, and he has no intention of letting Emma turn their cherished holiday tradition into another polished corporate production.

Forced to work together, Emma and Noah soon discover that the feelings they buried years ago may not have disappeared at all.

But beneath the Christmas lights and falling snow lies a secret from the night Emma left—a letter that was never delivered, a wish that was never forgotten, and a truth that could change everything they thought they knew about their past.

As Christmas approaches, Emma must decide what she truly wants: the successful life she built far away or the home—and the man—she never stopped loving.

Because sometimes the hardest part of coming home isn't finding the person you left behind.

It's finding the courage to stay.

One More Christmas Wish is a heartwarming small-town holiday romance filled with childhood friends-to-lovers chemistry, second chances, Christmas magic, emotional forgiveness, and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
