BLURB:
Margaret
Snow doesn’t believe in fairy tales, but as a devoted mother she’s determined
to give her five-year-old daughter a Christmas filled with heart-warming
memories.
The once successful LA swimsuit
model returns to her small upstate New York town to buy back the foreclosed
trailer she once called home. Her menagerie of rescue animals travel with her.
She doesn’t expect to see her former
high school sweetheart, the athletic, ever-popular, and decisive Fernando
Brandt.
Sparks fly when she realizes that
the teenage hockey star is now a successful Realtor who is also interested in
her dilapidated trailer for reasons of his own.
But can she resist the handsome,
charismatic Prince Charming a second time?
And can she surrender her
insecurities and accept the true gift of Christmas, finally feeling worthy of
unconditional love?
EXCERPT:
Sometimes
Margaret Snow’s guilt would go away for a few minutes. But it always returned.
Insistent. Dull. Intense.
She
was a terrible mother. Check.
She’d
never amount to anything. Check.
She
only thought about herself. Check.
These
negative thoughts chattered incessantly, tucked ever so slightly behind
everyday activities. Like uncaged wild animals waiting to pounce at the first
opportunity.
She
glanced out her office window. Despite the wind and ice, city workers were
adding cheery red bells and silver holiday trimmings to the streetlights. It
didn’t help. November in upstate New York promised gray skies, bitter sleet,
and not an ounce of cheeriness until spring. Today was no exception.
What
was the weather like in California? She checked the weather app on her phone.
As expected, sunny skies in Los Angeles were predicted.
“Unbelievable,”
she whispered. “How could two places be so different?”
And
why was she stuck in the least desirable of the two?
She
sighed.
But
her daughter Amelie seemed content, and only Amelie mattered.
