      She’s back in his life...

       But will they end up under the mistletoe?

      Emilie O’Shea and her figure-skating troupe find themselves homeless...until a Christmas miracle lands them at a quaint inn in New Hampshire. Emilie is excited—then she discovers the inn’s scrooge-like owner is her ex-fiancé, Nathan Prescott. With assistance from a little boy, an adorable cat and her skaters, Emilie helps Nathan find hope in the season...and hope in their future.

      She gazed at him softly, shaking her head. “Nathan, what’s become of you?”

      “What do you mean?”

      “You’ve turned cold.”

      Had he? Well, she didn’t know what had been going on with him since they’d parted, either in his life or in his heart.

      There was so much he couldn’t tell her. About his inn failing, about the fact that his finances were on the ropes, about the feelings he still carried for her...

      “I was concerned,” he admitted, “when I saw on the news that your cruise ship had hit a reef. In fact, I checked my phone that day to see if you’d called me.”

      Shoot. He hadn’t wanted to admit that.

      “I thought of you that day, too,” she said softly.

      She had?

      “Thank you for your thoughts,” she continued. “But the best you can do for me is to help us be successful with our show. Come on, Nathan, it’s Christmas. Think about the kids.”

      He was thinking about the kids. She had no idea.

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome to Christmas in New England!

      For my first Heartwarming novel I wanted to write a holiday story about hope, healing and second chances at love.

      Emilie O’Shea is a professional figure skater who’s left homeless just before Christmas. Concerned about the young cast of international performers in her care, Emilie takes the only offer of employment she can find: travel to wintry New Hampshire to present their holiday spectacle at a resort in the mountains. The catch? The resort is owned by Nathan Prescott, the man who broke her heart two Christmases ago.

      Nathan Prescott has put his unlikely romance with Emilie behind him. Nathan, a consulting accountant, never expected to fall for a free-spirited performer with few family roots. He shouldn’t have been surprised when she refused to accompany him home when his life’s goal finally came to fruition: he was able to buy back Prescott Inn, the resort founded by his grandfather.

      But the hotel has too many empty rooms this holiday season, and finances are tight. Nathan’s cost-cutting endeavors have earned him the nickname Mr. Scrooge. Only Emilie seems to be able to lighten his heart, even as her figure-skating troupe upends his staid plans and breathes life into his world again.

      Can he prove to her that she’s worth more than his business to him? Dare he hope that this time, she’ll choose to stay?
