A Christmas to remember—that’s what Ellie Wainwright wants to provide for Sheriff Caleb Voss’s little girls.
When family duties call Caleb’s housekeeper away, Ellie gladly steps in to care for his daughters. But she can’t agree to a marriage of convenience. Ellie wants nothing less than real love.
Guilt over his past keeps the widowed lawman guarded, though five-year-old twins Hannah and Grace blossom the moment she steps into their home. A broken courtship in Colorado left her wary of tender promises.
Trimming a blue spruce for the town contest draws them closer than either expected. Caleb long ago gave up on love, yet sweet Ellie’s kindness to his children could make a believer of him again.
