Polly Fraser loves the winter season—the sparkling lights, the cozy firelight, the smell of cinnamon in the air . . . and she's going all-out this year at the Applemore Farm Shop. The shop is the heart of the Applemore village community, and making the Christmas Market into a winter wonderland almost makes up for the fact that once again she's alone for the festive season . . . Her closest friend Harry Robertson is determined to make the Applemore Hotel a success. With a huge renovation in the pipeline, he's counting down the days until he can close the hotel and get to work. As the busy season ends, he's saying goodbye to the final guests of the year when a last minute booking puts a spanner in the works . . .

Capricious media star Ivy Winter causes a stir when she arrives in the tiny Highland village with her fiancé Ben. Harry's delighted to hear she wants to marry in the hotel her parents loved . . . there's just one problem. Ivy's got her heart set on a Christmas wedding. Polly reassures Harry they can make it work—between the farm shop with local produce, her sister's flower farm to provide the wedding flowers, and artisan bakers on hand to create the wedding cake. The tight-knit community pull together, determined to make it a Christmas Applemore will never forget. But disaster strikes, and the village is on tenterhooks. Can they pull it off?
