Twenty-four Christmas markets. Twenty-four days. One Christmas she’ll never forget.

Noelle Whitmore has dreamed of completing the mysterious Christmas Market Challenge since she was sixteen. After years of putting her dream off, she finally packs her bags, grabs her handmade Christmas Passport, and heads to Europe determined to collect all twenty-four stamps before Christmas Eve. Then she loses her Christmas passport.

Little did she know that she would meet Damiano Mezzanotte, a handsome, guarded Italian architect with a dry sense of humor, a complicated past, and secrets of his own. He’s supposed to help her for one market. Just one. But one market becomes another, and soon they’re traveling together through snow-covered European villages, glowing Christmas squares, missed trains, shared hotel rooms, unexpected adventures, and more than a few almost-kisses.

As Noelle checks destinations off her list, she begins to realize that the moments she never planned for are becoming the ones she wants to remember most. The closer she grows to Damiano, the more she suspects he knows something about the Christmas Market Challenge that she doesn’t.

With Christmas Eve fast approaching, Noelle is running out of markets, and time. Damiano knows the secret behind the mysterious final destination, and discovering it could change everything she thought this journey was leading her toward.

She came to Europe chasing twenty-four stamps.
She found a man she never planned for.
But the final destination was never a place.

Some journeys don’t end when you reach the last stop. That is were they begin.
