Lucas loves Christmas. Susanna really doesn’t.
Susanna Marino didn’t move to Stockholm for the snow. She left her hometown in Italy to start over. Now her only plan for the last month of the year is to work her shifts at the bakery and pretend Christmas doesn’t exist.
Until a snowball, thrown by a midfielder for the popular North Stars club, hits her right in the face.
Lucas Nyström isn’t certain about much these days, even though he’s at the peak of his career. But there are two things he knows for sure right now: he loves Christmas, and he’s very sorry about the snowball. So sorry that he shows up at her counter every day.
After an emergency leaves Susanna wearing the crown of candles on Lucia Day, Lucas offers her a deal. Together they’ll experience three Swedish Christmas traditions before Christmas Eve. If she still hates the holidays after that, he’ll give up trying to convince her.
He’s got saffron buns, gingerbread, and an entire football team in his corner. She’s got absolutely no intention of opening her heart.
But Lucia is meant to bring light to the darkest time of the year, and Susanna might find out it works on her too.
A cozy Christmas romance full of snow and found family, set in the world of Stockholm’s North Stars.
