Worse yet, her all-so-perfect childhood nemesis, Estelle, also has her eyes set on him. She’s got the looks, the money, and no problem with getting what she wants. Ever. But Cassie is flat broke, nothing special to look at, or so she had been told, and has to fight for everything good that happens in her life. How could she even compete with that woman?

They call him a war hero. But all recently retired Army Master Sergeant Cooper wants is to put his military life behind him and to transition into his new civilian life—serving as a deputy at the Sheriff’s Office in Magnolia Hill. Finding a date is at the very bottom of his priority list. But good grief! He should’ve known that by moving back into a small community, he’d be the talk of the town. But all Austin wants is to get settled before he would even entertain the idea of dating, not to even mention to fall in love again.

When a rare blizzard threatens the cancelation of the town’s Christmas parade and has residents seek shelter from the storm, Cassie and Austin are forced to challenge their deep-rooted beliefs. Will there be a merry Christmas… for both of them?
