Maybe this Christmas they’ll see each other in a brand-new light

Schoolteacher Bella Hart and her neighbor Sam Anderson are both newcomers to Magnolia, North Carolina, yet theyve grown to be good friends. But lately shes noticed a distinct charge in the air when theyre together. Still, from what Bella can see, the attractive and popular firefighter may be more of a good-time playboy than stable-relationship material. Hopefully her plans to spend Christmas back home in Colorado will give the attraction between them time to cool down.

Then Bella’s puppy, Tater, is injured days before Christmas, and shedecidesto stayin town to take care of him. Sam insists that Bella come with him to his Blue Ridge Mountain hometown for Christmas, hoping that Bella might see him in a new light there. But his hopes are dashed as soon as she meets his older brother. On paper, responsible and even-keeled Kyle is perfect for Bellathe exact opposite of a man like Sam.

Good thing Bella doesnt give a Christmas fig about what looks good on paper. Allshe wants for Christmas is Sam. And in this season of joy and giving, could her wish possibly be about to come true?
