SNOW PLACE LIKE HOLLY POINTE by Cindy Kirk
An absolutely heartwarming Christmas romance
Will love be on their Christmas Lists?
Holly Pointe, Vermont might be the Capitol of Christmas Kindness, but when residents learn their beloved Mistletoe Ball has been canceled, goodwill is in short supply. Lucy Cummings feels like a grinch for canceling, but the ball is a financial lump of coal for the Barns at Grace Hollow. If she wants to save the venue she manages from being sold to an out-of-state buyer, she’ll need every penny she can earn to purchase it herself.
After years away, Trevor Sherwood has come home to Holly Point—and to Lucy. The last time he saw his former best friend, they were rambunctious kids. Now, Trevor is a talented entrepreneur and Lucy is a very beautiful–very stressed-out–businesswoman.
Trevor and Lucy soon realize their feelings go far beyond friendship. But with their personal Ghosts of Christmas Pasts haunting them, are they ready for love? When a massive snowstorm shuts down the town, nothing short of a miracle can restore Lucy’s Christmas cheer–and save their yuletide romance.
Grab a cup of hot cocoa, put up your feet, and dive into this uplifting story of second chances today!
