Snow Kissed - Raeanne Thayne

RaeAnne Thayne will capture your heart with her beautiful, touching stories. --Robyn Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Virgin River series n'Tis the season for a little white lie... n n Christmas has aways been single mom Holly Goodwin Moore's favorite time of year. The twinkly lights on the tree, the cookies in the oven, the snow on the ground. But she's just not feeling it this year. The wedding in her ex's family is almost here, her daughter, Lydia, is bursting at the seams to be a flower girl...and Holly couldn't be dreading it more. She told a little white lie about having a new boyfriend as her plus-one, hoping to save face. She needs a date for the wedding...and she needs it now. n n Ryan Caldwell wants to be free this holiday season. So even he isn't sure how he landed in Shelter Springs, looking after his niece, Audrey, with his estranged father down the road. But when he meets Holly, she makes him want to belong for the very first time. So they make a deal: he'll be her date if she'll help him give Audrey a true Christmas to remember while her mom is away. n n What starts as a simple agreement soon becomes so much more. In this season of second chances and new beginnings, little Lydia will help Holly--and Ryan--see that risking your heart is the only way to live. n nn
