Hartbridge Christmas Books in Order

The Hartbridge Christmas series is set in the fictional mountain town of Hartbridge, Montana, where snowstorms, small businesses, pets, and holiday traditions keep putting lonely people in each other’s paths. Each book follows a new central couple, while familiar faces return around town.

Tic-Tac-Mistletoe opens the series when Australian traveler Hamish Kenneally is stranded in a blizzard two days before Christmas. Ren Brooks, a local hardware-store owner mourning his father, takes him in. Their unexpected time together gives both men a chance to rethink what home might mean.

The town works its magic quietly.

In Christmas Wish List, chef Jayden Turner takes a temporary job at a bed-and-breakfast and meets its recently divorced owner, Cass Campion. Merry Christmas Cupid introduces Gunter, who comes to Hartbridge after a painful year, and Clay, the sawmill worker who brings firewood to his new home.

These are cozy, low-stakes holiday romances. The conflicts come from grief, distance, new starts, family responsibilities, and the fear of wanting more than a temporary connection. Christmas is everywhere, but the books also make room for sadness and change.

Readers can enjoy the novels individually, though beginning with Tic-Tac-Mistletoe gives the fullest introduction to Hartbridge and its growing community.
