A small-town Christmas…

Can bring unexpected fun!

Adele Quinn’s new event-planning business hangs by a thread when the headliner for her holiday festival cancels. Enter Sterling Chase, last-minute replacement. The rising country star’s soulful voice and down-to-earth charm add a spark of magic to the season—and more than a flutter to Adele’s pulse. Even though she’s sworn off dating. A single mom, Adele has worked hard to give her two young children a stable life in River’s Bend, the only home she can imagine. Sterling’s great with her kids and his concert kick-starts both their careers, but dreams pull them in opposite directions. Can Sterling convince her to take a chance on love that could make this Christmas truly the most special time of the year?

From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.
