About this ebook

Lake Bittersweet is the perfect place for a winter wish to come true...

Baking cookies, sledding, building snow forts...these are the things trauma nurse Annika Scarlett should be doing with her nephews as Christmas nears. Instead, she’s in a hospital, where doctors are trying to diagnose her mysterious collapse. This is not what she planned for her holiday season.
She should be a little grateful...on one hand, the man’s she’s been crushing on via text came to her rescue and hasn’t left her side. But on the other?

The man’s she’s been crushing on via text came to her rescue...and hasn’t left her side.

It’s almost enough to make Annika believe in romance, except she’s far too independent for all that.
For billionaire and single dad Brent Caldwell, it was love at first sight the minute Annika helped his young son through an ordeal. But does the love-skeptical Annika even believe in such a thing? All he wants for Christmas is for her to recover. Well, maybe a little more than that...or a lot more...
Between storms, emergencies, and the ghosts of Christmas past, it’ll take a miracle for his wishes to come true. Good thing it’s that time of year.

I loved Annika and Brent’s story. They must first meet when his son is brought to the clinic where she works, after a boating fire. Brent is smitten from the start. They start texting each other and grow closer, but will it turn into anything more once they see each other again? Grab your copy and see what happens. I loved that parts of this story took place during The Do-Over, the second chance story about Jenna and Billy. I highly recommend both books and all of the other Lake Bitterswee
