❄️Beneath the snow and small-town charm lies the gift of forgiveness, redemption, and a love worth fighting for.❄️
Hollywood star Hanna Charlton is done with the spotlight. After months of therapy, she escapes to snow-dusted Leavenworth, hoping small-town Christmas magic will help her heal from a past she’d rather forget.
But she doesn’t expect Cole Rogerson–the humble, big-hearted founder of a local soup kitchen and adored by the whole town. Cole has spent his life giving to others, yet when it comes to love, he’s painfully shy. Hanna is glamorous, broken, and way out of his league … but also everything his heart has been waiting for.
As hot chocolates, Christmas lights, and the Annual Santa Competition draw them closer, Hanna starts to believe in second chances. But when old scandals resurface, will Cole’s faith and forgiveness be enough to prove that love – like Christmas – is worth fighting for?
A broken star, a small town, a healing love.
An uplifting holiday romance of redemption, forgiveness, and the small-town Christmas spirit that brings love home. Perfect for readers who adore Virgin River, small-town holiday charm, and unforgettable second chances.
