Pour yourself a cup of hot chocolate and settle into the holiday spirit with this sweet and cozy winter romance by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc, author of the hit Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice! Perfect for fans of holiday rom-coms and Gilmore Girls.
It's been eight months since seventeen-year-old Emma left her hometown of Willowcrest to attend boarding school in New York City. Now, she's back in town—and she's not alone: Her new boyfriend, Sam, has come to visit the most picturesque village in New England during the most magical time of the year.
But there's a chill in the air, and not just because it's winter. Emma's best friend, Aiden, isn't all too happy to see her after she left without so much as a goodbye. He and Emma have known each other since elementary school, and they used to do everything together. They even share a favorite drink, a peppermint hot chocolate from Swanny's Soda Shoppe on Main Street. This was where Emma first told Aiden she was thinking of leaving Willowcrest. It was also where Aiden had planned to confess his growing feelings for Emma -- before she showed him her acceptance letter and everything changed.
With Emma back in the picture, she and Aiden must navigate a new era of their friendship, but will they be able to break the ice?
