St. Martin’s Griffin (October 8, 2024)

Christmas Romance/Small Town Romance

A heartwarming love story set at Christmas time by USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle.

In the enchanting mountain town of Chestnut Ridge, where tree farms blanket the hillsides and the promise of a white Christmas is ever-present, a heartwarming holiday romance is about to blossom. When Sheila’s best friend convinces her to help decorate a tree in the annual Christmas Tree Stroll fundraiser, she embarks on an unexpected journey of self-discovery, all wrapped in the cozy embrace of a tight-knit community. As she immerses herself in the joy of twinkling lights, hot cocoa, and the camaraderie of the townsfolk, Sheila’s world begins to transform, and she finds the sense of belonging she never knew she needed.

Meanwhile, Tucker, the town’s reliable fire captain, is gathering volunteers to help a family with four young children who have just lost their home to a devastating fire weeks before Christmas. Sheila offers her helping hand, and as the town rallies to support the family in their time of need, sparks of love begin to flicker between her and Tucker.

In this charming town where dreams come true, and Christmas magic is everywhere, come along for a tale of love, community, and the true spirit of the season.

REVIEW

A nice read centered around a small town at Christmas. The small-town community truly gets into the holiday spirit. Loved how the community comes together to support one another, and the visiting Sheila fits right in. This is a follow up to And Then There Was You (Sheila’s friend Natalie’s story) which is helpful if you have read it but not totally necessary. Well written and the descriptive writing had me envious of the creative Christmas trees!
