About this eBook

After hiding for years, it’s time for Paisley to go home. . .for the holidays. 

Paisley finds joy in simple things: making lists, finding the perfect Christmas tree, snow falling around the holidays. She doesn't have an ambitious bone in her body, but her friends don't mind. She cheers them on when they're up and supports them when they're down. 

Everyone loves Paisley, and for good reason. She's always there when you need her. 

But Paisley has a secret, and none of her friends in Georgia know anything about it. 

When that secret calls her home to Europe, she must face all the things she has ignored. When she finds out that her family, which has always run an amazing Christmas program for the people of her country, is about to lose everything, she resolves to help any way she can. But their family debt is large, and to her great dismay, the debtor is someone her friends dislike immensely. . . shrewd business mogul James Fulton.

Can Paisley confront the demons she left behind and repair the damage from her departure? And can she do it in time to save Christmas? 

Publisher's Weekly said, "This is a story of growth and transformation. The plot is quite unusual. . .and the author puts a fun and fresh twist on the [princess as a commoner] trope."

Ratings and reviews

I went into this book thinking I was going to really dislike James. He wasn't very nice in the book he was introduced in, but I should have known that Bridget Baker would be able to win me over to his side. I ended up loving James! People can change, and not everything was exactly the way it seemed with him. I was so happy to see Paisley finally find someone who was perfect for her. I've loved her in every one of the books. They made such a cute couple. I swear I could just picture this being a Hallmark channel movie. This ended up being my second favorite book in the series, right behind Finding Liberty.

This book intrigued me. I had read the rest of the series, so I was already familiar with both of these characters. I could NOT see how they could possibly fall for each other. And the revelations behind Paisley's secret past floored me! I found the book to be engaging and kept me eager to find out what would happen next!

Fun, silly, innocent Paisley has a past that is NOTHING like her current life. It was a surprise to get introduced to this side of her, and a surprise to see that the evil jerk in the past of some of the men I have grown to love throughout the Finding series actually has a heart. This romance spans the ocean, both in commercial flights and private jets. Strong love and great loss for both main characters. I feel the pain that has shaped who they each have become and understand how a princess could become plain ole Pais. This is a perfect read around the holidays! (If you remember way back at the start of the series, Paisley loves helping with Sub-for-Santa and we get to find out a bit more behind her enthusiasm for Mary’s project!). Hallmark sweetness to the max!

About the author

 Bridget won her first writing contest in first grade with a story about a day in the life of a little spot of air. (Who says you need a good hook?)  

She hasn't stopped writing (or talking) since then, although she was briefly derailed by her pursuit of a legal career. Ultimately, boring words, well, bored her. She quit her job to spend less time counting gobs of ill gotten gains, and more time writing stories. 

She loves her husband and all five of her kids (most days). She has a yappy dog and a bouncy dog, three goofy horses, a demanding cat, two lion's head rabbits, and more chickens than she cares to admit. (Chicken math is REAL!) Every day is a battle between playing with kids, riding her horse Leo, and writing. If her publication speed has slowed down, you can blame the kids and the horse.

She makes cookies all the time, and thinks they should have their own food group. In a possibly misguided attempt at balancing the scales between overconsumption and exertion, she kickboxes every day. So if you don't like her kids, her cookies, or her books, maybe don't tell her in person.
