Blake gave up his Toronto-based baking business a year ago when his father was badly injured in an accident. A request to help cater a Christmas party at the prestigious Pine Ridge riding school might be the push he needs to get back into the swing of things, but a mistake from his past continues to cast a shadow over everything he does.

Michael was once an Olympic medal-winning show jumper, but a miscalculation years ago sent him into a downward spiral from which he's only now beginning to recover. When he's asked to play Santa Claus at the Pine Ridge Christmas party, Michael is firmly against the idea.

Once he meets the intriguing party caterer, he starts to rethink his opposition, but can he expect anyone to look beyond his dark past long enough to get close to him? Can he look beyond it long enough to forgive himself? And can Blake and Michael help each other finally move on from what came before?

Andrew Fletcher has a quiet life, living in the sleepy English seaside town where he was born and managing a theatre open only during the busy summer tourist season. He makes an unexpected friend in one of the actors, Oliver James, who comes down from London to play Christian in Cyrano de Bergerac. Over time, their friendship turns into something more, but a burgeoning relationship is complicated by the fact Oliver has a partner in London.

When the COVID pandemic hits and the theatre is forced to close, seemingly for good, Andrew moves on from his job and from his crush. Will an unexpected encounter with Oliver several years later let them pick up where they left off? Or has too much time passed for there ever to be anything between them?
