About this ebook

Once upon a time, he was everything to her, except for one thing: her future 

Christmas sparkles from every bough and window at the cozy Four Winds Ski Resort, where single mother Eden Kendall and her eight-year-old son are spending the holiday. A surprise marriage proposal from her boss’s son wasn’t on her Christmas list, but it’s the perfect excuse to get away and weigh her options. She never imagined her son’s ski instructor/Santa impersonator would be the gorgeous, charismatic dreamer she left behind years ago, the one who still owns a piece of her heart. 

Cole Hagan has never stopped loving Eden and he’s spent the last eight years proving her wrong on every count about his potential. While he fights to save the resort that he helped to build by organizing a holiday concert, he decides it’s about time that Eden puts aside her list-making pragmatism so that she and her skeptical son can experience the true magic of Christmas. 

Can a not-so-perfect angel help this unlikely pair get a second chance at happily ever after?

Ratings and reviews

Meeting up with an old flame when she is desperately trying to come to a decision whether to marry someone else, throws Eden into a quandary. Cole is everything he was when they were students together. However, Eden discovers that he has matured and become a responsible and respected person in his own right. Teaching Eden's son on the ski slopes surprises Cole and the memory of her parting words puncture his heart once again. Whilst he would love to explore an adult relationship with Eden, he has more important things to worry about and as much as he enjoys Eden and Quinn, his employees are depending on him to save their jobs. Discovering that Eden is part of the reason his resort is in difficulties, Cole feels betrayed but a quirky lady and her dog keeps crossing his path, forcing him to rethink his assumptions. I love Cole's character and his gentle humour. Eden is like so many women, trying to do her best for her child and wading through decision making. Discovering that she is being manipulated makes things easier and worse at the same time, but she finally gets the courage to steer her own course. The angel is this book adds another element in a romantic Christmas story. The novel is clean, well written and has humour. Most plots with children and dogs warm the heart and this is no exception. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

A heart warming sweet second chance romance between Eden and Cole. Eden and Cole were an item eight years ago but Eden wanted more in life that what her parents had and she was afraid if she stayed with Cole, it would be. Neither Cole or Eden found their true happiness until meeting up again at the ski lodge. With a little Christmas magic, dogs and a little boy they are sure to find their HEA. Loved this book, brought me right in and did not let go until the end. Great characters, including Eden's son Quinn. This is the perfect Christmas romance that I highly recommend.

This is a super sweet romance that is perfect for the festive season. Jo and and Marguerite are angels in training and are keeping an eye out on their loved ones. Jo and her husband where killed in a car accident and now her best friend Edan Kendall is caring for her son Quinn. She has brought him to Four Winds Ski Resort for a Christmas break it is also a time for Edan to sort out what she wants as her bosses son has just proposed to her. Years before she left the only man she had ever loved Cole Hagan as she felt he didn't have any potential. The thing is that gave him the spark he needed and he has worked to prove her wrong ever since. When they reconnect at the Four Winds he will do whatever he needs to reconnect with Edan and hopefully at the same time save the resort that he helped to build. Meanwhile her boss and his son try to strong ram Cole and his partner to sell. Will they finally end up together You will have to read to see if a little help from the angels above will finally get these two together.
