Love Me Down to Christmas

Tender, nostalgic, and deeply romantic, Love Me Down to Christmas is a heartfelt holiday romance about first love, family, healing, and the kind of love that never forgets its way home.

"Love Me Down to Christmas delivers everything we love about a cozy holiday romance--small-town charm, heartfelt moments, and just the right amount of spice. Aries Skye masterfully blends friends-to-lovers chemistry with unexpected twists that keep you turning the pages while still wrapping you in the warmth of a sweet hometown love story." -ROBBI RENEE, bestselling author of Somebody's Husband

Amariah Luke built a successful life far away from Skye Ridge, the small town filled with memories she's spent years trying to outrun. But when her father falls ill just before Christmas, she returns home for the holidays and comes face-to-face with the one man she never truly forgot.

Jacob Gold never stopped loving Amariah. Not after the silence and not even after all those years apart. And now that she's back in Skye Ridge for Christmas, he's determined not to lose her a second time.

When Amariah's father makes one heartfelt Christmas wish, Jacob sets out to win her back with a holiday countdown inspired by the memories, traditions, and quiet gestures that once made them inseparable. From snow-covered nights and spiked cocoa to long-buried confessions and second chances wrapped in twinkling lights, every day brings them closer to the love they left unsaid.

But as Christmas draws near, Amariah must decide whether the life she built away from home is truly where her heart belongs...or if the future she's been searching for has been waiting for her in Skye Ridge all along.
