Gifts from the Heart: Holly Ridge Holidays Book 1
June Whitaker gave up on love a long time ago.
Widowed young and raising a teenage son alone, she's spent years putting herself last on the to-do list, one sacrifice at a time. When money gets tight and options dwindle, she takes a cleaning job at her former best friend Evan Brooks' medical clinic, knowing full well that facing him every day might stir up feelings she'd rather forget.
Evan's life in Holly Ridge looks picture-perfect.
A bustling small-town practice, a cozy mountain home, and a daughter who lights up his world. But beneath the surface, Evan is drowning under pressure from his ambitious new business partner-and struggling with the return of June, the woman who once meant everything.
As Christmas lights twinkle through Holly Ridge, long-buried feelings resurface with every awkward run-in, holiday mishap, and lingering look.
But second chances rarely come wrapped in tidy packages-and in this town full of memories, trusting their hearts again might just be the biggest risk of all.
Gifts from the Heart is a small town, second chance, sweet contemporary holiday romance with romantic comedy elements. Most of the spice in this book is saved for the egg nog, so the passionate scenes fade to black.
