Playing on the boys' hockey team and coming out young didn't help. Now, thanks to an Olympic gold medal, JT's name is on a sign greeting visitors to her hometown. Her family of artists and creatives still treat her as an odd duck, but elsewhere there's a warm welcome. Especially from her best friend's older sister, newly divorced Ali Porter. Single for the first time since high school, Ali is ready to take the reins of her own life. She's never had the chance to date another woman, and JT is an irresistible force of nature. When they team up for the town's holiday contest, cocoa tasting and gingerbread decorating give way to snow-melting chemistry. If teenage JT thought Ali was the prettiest girl on the planet, adult JT is completely smitten. But JT can't see herself living in Hart's Landing again and Ali can't imagine leaving her job and her newly purchased home. And with Ali's mom trying to plot a reconciliation with her ex, this holiday season might be bittersweet...or the start of something magical.
