Simon heals bodies. Danny rescues people. This Christmas, they might just save each other.


Dr. Simon Hale has spent years perfecting the art of being alone.

It’s easier that way. No expectations. No heartbreak. No one close enough to leave.


Fire Chief Danny Rodriguez knows something about leaving, too. He came to Mapleford after fifteen years of city fires and too many losses, determined to build a quieter life—and never make the mistake of needing someone again.

Then Christmas puts them together.

A snowstorm. A string of house calls. Late-night coffee.

One very persistent small town determined to make sure they spend far too much time in each other’s company.


And suddenly, the man Simon thought he had figured out is the man he can’t stop thinking about.

The man Danny never expected to want is the one person who makes him feel safe enough to stop running.


But Simon has loved and lost before.

Danny has spent his entire life being the strong one.


Now they’re falling for each other—and discovering that the hardest thing isn’t caring for someone.

It’s trusting someone enough to let them care for you.


This Christmas, two men who have spent their lives taking care of everyone else might finally discover what it feels like to come home.


Last year, you discovered the town of Mapleford, Maine, in Hold My Hand, It's Christmas.

This year, K.C. Wells is taking you back there.
