    "description": "<p>First rule of the maple falls holiday games: Don't fall in love with the enemy. One rivalry. Eight days until Christmas. Let the holiday games begin. When L.A.-based real estate developer Bella Ross arrives in the sleepy mountain town of Maple Falls, she has one mission: to acquire the local failing Christmas shop, Always Noelle, securing the promotion of her dreams. Nothing can get in her way. Except the shop owner&rsquo;s stubborn grandson, Jesse Harrison. Both refuse to budge, until an unlikely wager is struck: Bella and Jesse will compete in the Maple Falls Holiday Games, an annual tradition of eccentric feats of strength and skills. Winner decides the selling price. They&rsquo;ll give each other a run for their money, but as the competition heats up, Bella and Jesse&rsquo;s icy feelings toward each other begin to thaw. It&rsquo;ll take a Christmas miracle for them to admit there&rsquo;s a spark, but what if it&rsquo;s just another game?</p>",
