Colton Hayes

Character

Colton Hayes is Snowberry Ridge’s steady kind of handsome—the local carpenter who can rebuild a porch, fix a stuck door, and still show up first to string lights on Main Street. He’s a volunteer firefighter with calm hands and a quiet presence, known for doing more than he says. Under the rugged, dependable exterior is a deeply loyal man with a soft heart he guards carefully—especially when it comes to Harper Quinn, the one person who ever made him believe in forever.

Age 33

Internal Wounds

Harper Quinn

Character

Harper Quinn left Snowberry Ridge chasing a big-city life and a career she built with grit, creativity, and sheer stubborn will. At 33, she’s a top-tier NYC event designer with an eye for beauty and a talent for making moments feel unforgettable—yet she’s never quite learned how to make space for her own happiness. Smart, funny, and guarded in all the ways that matter, Harper returns home for Christmas expecting a quick visit… and finds herself face-to-face with old memories, old wounds, and Colton Hayes—the one person she never fully stopped loving.
