A Christmas Village Romance

History professor Carter and 19th century frontier settlements specialist helps for free running Maple Creek, a fairly authentic pioneer village Maple Creek in Wisconsin, which founder Timothy's widow Kayla tries to manage, as counselor, blacksmith and general handyman, yet it's no longer self-supporting. Kayla's niece Diana, a romantic novelist, situated her popular series right there in the pioneer age, and is nudged by her San Francisco editor to counter rider's block and further PR by spending Christmas time there. Studly cover model Greg, her romantic interest, won a Caribbean modeling contest, and surprise-arrives for the Christmas gala. Despite grumpy clashes with Carter, who duly criticizes Diana's historical inaccuracies worse then the village's compromises, Cupid matches them, as he's an avid reader, but offered a great job in another state.
