"The perfect holiday confection."--Booklist
**From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes a
witty and heartfelt story of two friends who unexpectedly find the
person-and the place in which-they belong this Christmas.
With twinkling humor and heartfelt Christmas spirit, two friends find
love in a town called Wishing Tree...**
Until Camryn Neff can return to her "real" life in Chicago, she's in
Wishing Tree to care for her twin sisters. She's not looking for forever
love, not here. But handsome hotelier Jake Crane is a temptation she
can't resist, so she suggests they pair up for the season. No golden
rings, no broken hearts. At his side, she sees her hometown through
Christmas-colored eyes. The cheer is cheerier, the joy more joyful. She
thought she had put her future on hold...but maybe her real life was
here all along, waiting for her to come home.
New in town, River Best is charmed by Wishing Tree's homespun traditions
and warmhearted people. When she's crowned Snow Queen, she's honored but
wary. Dylan Tucker, her king, seems like the stuff of sugarplum dreams,
but she can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something big. As they
perform their "royal" duties--tasting cookies, lighting trees--Dylan's
good humor and melty kisses draw her to the brink of love. But she can't
let herself fall until she uncovers his secret, even if her lack of
faith means losing him forever.
