She’s cooking up love in the wilderness

Before starting her dream job in Seattle, sous chef Josie Avery spends her summer cooking at a lakeside lodge in remote Ponder, Alaska. Josie falls for the rustic community—including Jack Corcoran, crotchety keeper of Ponder’s famed sourdough starter, and quiet, intense master swordsmith Palmer Saxon.

Josie and Palmer grow close during the long Alaskan summer days, but Josie knows that, come fall, she’ll return to Seattle. Palmer wants to make her his wife. But Josie can’t imagine staying in Ponder —even for a man she’s come to love.

Then, Josie misses the last boat out before winter sets in, putting her dream job at risk. Will Josie and Palmer discover that Christmas magic can happen when they put their faith in love?
