Silverwood’s most anticipated event of the year is upon us—Holly St. Ives and Nick Mason’s New Year’s Eve wedding. But as one disaster after another strikes in the weeks leading up to their big day, Holly begins to suspect that something is amiss.
Enter Viola Carver, a former culinary prodigy who put her career on hold to care for her disabled mother. Given a last-minute opportunity to cater the event of the season, Viola is determined to prove herself. But she fears she may blow her big chance after several rocky encounters with the dashing venue owner.
With a saboteur on the loose who’s intent on ruining Nick and Holly’s wedding, it might take Nick’s team of Alaskan Malamutes and a New Year’s miracle to save the day.
His gaze softened, and he released a shuddered breath before pulling her closer. “Holly, I have something to confess.”
“Oh?”
He bit his lip, his eyes cast downward.
Holly leaned away to see him better. “Nick?”
“I had an ulterior motive for bringing you here.”
She searched his face. “Wh-what motive?”
His lips quivered. Trembled was more like it. Holly’s heartbeat quickened. Nick could hear it, she was certain.
He ran his thumb along her jaw. “Holly.”
“You’re making me shiver.” It wasn’t from the cold. She hardly noticed her frozen fingers and toes anymore.
“I’m sorry.” He let out a small chuckle and shook his head. “It’s just that I’ve been going over the right way to do this in my head. The most meaningful and memorable way. If a man’s lucky, he’ll only do this once in his life.”
“Do …?” Holly swallowed hard. Was she even breathing?
“Starting with the magic of the Northern Lights tonight, I promise to fill each of your days with as much magic as I can if you allow me.” He searched her face as he shifted, bending until he balanced on one knee.
When he dug into his coat pocket, Holly covered her mouth. The world seemed to spin, the sparkling colors of the aurora borealis glimmering in her periphery as Nick presented an open, black velvet box. The diamond ring nestled in the satin interior reflected the prism shimmering above their heads.
