Sometimes the right person finds you before you're ready to find them.
Evie Hart has three rules for Christmas shopping: avoid Saturdays, avoid Myer in December, and never get emotionally attached to a stuffed animal.
She breaks all three.
When Evie spots a ridiculously adorable charity bear wearing a tiny Christmas jumper, she can't resist taking him home. On impulse, she names him Ethan.
Across Melbourne, Ethan Carter is doing exactly the same thing.
He buys the matching bear, gives her the name Evie, and takes her home.
Neither of them knows the other exists.
Until they meet.
A spilled coffee leads to a conversation. A conversation becomes Christmas shopping together. Christmas shopping becomes hot chocolates, family dinners, Christmas lights, almost-kisses and a growing collection of memories neither of them expected to make.
Then they discover the impossible.
They bought the same bear.
On the same night.
And somehow, before ever meeting, they named those bears after each other.
Evie doesn't believe in fate.
Ethan isn't sure what he believes.
But as Christmas gets closer, one thing becomes impossible to ignore:
They're falling in love.
For Evie, falling means risking the possibility of being hurt again. For Ethan, loving her means learning to wait. He won't rush her. He won't pressure her. He'll simply be there until she's ready to take the next step.
And beneath Christmas lights, surrounded by tiny bears and everything they've built together, Evie finally realises that maybe love doesn't have to be frightening when it feels like home.
Because sometimes Christmas magic isn't about what you find beneath the tree.
Sometimes it's about who is standing beside you.
And sometimes...
the tiniest bear can lead you to the biggest love of your life.
A cosy, feel-good Christmas romance about fate, patience, found family, two adorable bears, and the kind of love worth waiting for.
Evie & Ethan- because sometimes love finds you before you even know you're looking.
