About this ebook

A crushing breakup. A secretive fiancé. An unwelcome new face in town. And a Christmas miracle that could fix it all…or ruin everything.

 

So, I’m sitting in the car, with my new assistant. We just met new clients. Big clients. Clients that will help me buy that game changing Christmas present for my favorite niece. Everything rides on this project. Everything since Travis, that is. But I knew something was wrong the second we shook hands. I can think of a million things that could nix this deal. I’ve seen many and lived to tell. But something tells me that what I’m about to learn next will put us in a sticky situation. I just hope that what I’m guessing isn’t true…

 

***

 

I watch him strut out of Becky’s car and my skin crawls. Now, I’m not a jealous guy, this isn’t about that. My boss, Laura, sees it, too. While the Christmas decorations get pulled out for an early celebration, I cross my fingers, and hope to God that what my instincts are telling me isn’t true. Becky did what she had to do to make it right. I get that. But what bridges get burned now? In the coming weeks, before Christmas, it becomes clear. But will it be enough to get it all back? And then, just when I think I’ve lost it all, strangely enough, my lucky number shows me the way…

Ratings and reviews

The first book in the christmas in Huttonville series. An enjoyable read with lots of mystery,surprises and a christmas miracle. Travis and Becky have gone their separate ways.Travis still loves Becky and wants her back. Becky still loves Travis,but thinks pushing him away is best for both of them. When she gets new clients she needs help.She hires a new assistant. Travis is not happy about it and does not trust her new assistant and is worried about Becky. With the support of their,families,friends and the town they sort out their problems,have their own little miracle and get to their happily ever after. This story kept me turning the pages and cannot wait to read Liam's story and what happens next. It does finish on a cliffhanger. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wonderfully miraculous story of a patient husband's persistent, pure, and devoted love for his independent and self-sacrificing wife, irrespective of their circumstances!

About the author

Fair warning: ALL Sandy's western romances end with a cliffhanger, so if that's not your thing....sorry!

If you're not into addictive, heartwarming, sexy stories about cowboys and the women that they fall fast and hard for...move on.

About the Author

Sandy's first job out of high school was as an assistant animal groomer. Among many other jobs in her career, she's also worked at a prestigious winery that many well-known celebrities have patronized. With a college degree in Administration, she has several years of desk work under her belt, including her most current job at an established charity.

Often found in the lunchroom writing voraciously, Sandy has been called a 'writing machine'. Despite her forty-hour a week job, she still publishes many books each year. With a literary back list born in 2010, Sandy has branched out into several genres.

Married with two children and two furbabies, Sandy is a lover of all things four-legged. A strong advocate of health & fitness, you'll find her doing Yoga in her living room at 5:00 weekday mornings, which is sometimes when new story ideas come to light. Writing, like exercise, is a daily practice for this author. She's received 5 Stars from Readers' Favorite for 'Betrayal Only Comes in Green', and 'The Man with the Black Belt'.
