Northern Lights & Mistletoe

Sometimes the best gifts aren't wrapped in ribbon, they're found under the Northern Lights. When travel writer Lucy Bennett is sent to Finland for a last-minute Christmas assignment, the plan is simple: visit Santa's Village, photograph the reindeer, and pretend she's not spending the holidays alone. But the Arctic has other ideas. A snowstorm, a missed connection, and one quiet Finnish guide change everything.
Aaro Lehtinen prefers silence to small talk and solitude to crowds. Guiding tourists through Lapland's frozen forests is his winter ritual - until Lucy arrives with her bright laughter, endless questions, and a heart she doesn't realize is still healing. As days shorten and the aurora begins to dance across the sky, their worlds start to entwine. Between snow-covered cabins, fireside meals, and the hush of the northern night, Lucy finds herself drawn not only to Aaro's steady calm but to the wild beauty of a place that feels strangely like home.
But when duty calls her back to London, Lucy must choose between the safety of everything she knows and the love she never expected to find, a love as fleeting and unforgettable as the lights themselves.
