Synopsis

Maura Hall moved from North Carolina to Chicago three years ago with her young son, Ben, hoping to build a career as a journalist. Instead she's stuck bartending and editing other people's bylines, watching her dreams slip further away. When she meets Rick Figueroa at her company's Christmas party, an easy connection sparks between them — and together they launch a "Dear Santa" project to bring Christmas hope to thousands of children.

But as Maura's feelings for Rick deepen, so do her questions about who he really is and what he actually wants. Chicago Hope is a holiday romance about second chances, found family, and the surprising places hope can come from.
