A soldier running from his past. A baker creating her future. Will Christmas give them the gift of forgiveness and love?
Looking for a new beginning after losing her family to the Confederacy, Alicia Price opens Sugarplums Bakery in the quaint town of Saint Charles. Overwhelmed by her instant success and large volume of Christmas orders, she surprises herself by hiring a vagabond to help her out.
Gideon Sinclair threw away his future when he enlisted in the Confederate Army. Constantly moving from town to town, he is always on the lookout for peace and a place to settle down. Maybe, just maybe…he has found both when he agrees to work for the feisty, red head who owns the bakery.
Yet, just when he thinks his life is turning around, he is arrested on Christmas Eve for crimes he did not commit. Will Alicia be able to look beyond his past and give him the holiday miracle he so desperately wants?
Whether writing epic fantasy/paranormal, WWII, or historical western romance, Heidi Vanlandingham’s books are sweet, where characters are inspired to overcome life’s hardships and loving families build strong communities.
Heidi's words: I grew up near the panhandle of Oklahoma—what I claim is the “treeless armpit” of the state. While I dream of pines and mountains, my love of family keeps me here. My favorite things in life are laughter, in-depth talks with my son, fantasy-paranormal/western romance, music, and road trips.
