SYNOPSIS:
There's no place like Haven Point for the holidays, where the snow conspires to bring two wary hearts together for a Christmas to remember
It's been two rough years since Andrea Montgomery lost her husband, and all she wants is for her children to enjoy their first Christmas in Haven Point. But then Andie's friend asks a favor—to keep an eye on her brother, Sheriff Marshall Bailey, who's recovering from a hit and run. Andie will do anything for Wyn, even park her own misgivings to check on her grouchy, wounded bear of a brother.
Marshall hates feeling defenseless and resents the protective impulses that Andie brings out in him. But when a blizzard forces them together for the holidays, something in Marshall begins to thaw. Andie's gentle nature is a salve, and her kids' excitement for the holidays makes him forget why he never wanted a family. If only he and Andie can admit what they really want—each other—their Christmas wishes might come true after all.

ReplyDeleteThere's something about a book like that that just reminds me of being snowed in with a fire and nowhere to go--and nothing to do but READ!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds really sweet. Although trapped by a blizzard with a houseful of kids might push me over the edge.
ReplyDeleteYou're finding the nicest-sounding holiday romances, Mason! And there is something about the season that just lends itself to that sort of happiness, isn't there? Thanks for sharing this one.
