About this ebook

A story of love, moving on, and a dog named Louie

Veterinarian Holly Thompson accepts a temporary position in Comfort Crossing in an effort to escape all things Christmas. What she finds is a small town that embraces all things Christmas and a handsome neighbor with a small son who both capture her heart. Add to that their adorable pup, and she knows the holidays are not going to be what she planned. At all.

Steve Bergeron is quite content being a single father. He’s not willing to risk his heart — or his son’s — on another woman who is sure to leave them. It’s quite clear Holly will be gone by the new year. But he finds himself willing to do anything to chase away the sadness that lurks in the depths of Holly’s eyes. This isn’t part of his carefully laid out plans. At all.

When an accident on Christmas Eve forces them both to question their choices, can the magic of the season warm their hearts and bring love and joy back into their lives?

Ratings and reviews

This is a delightful story about grieving, recovery and a hopeful new love. It's also about facing your fears and trusting enough to let down your guard and love again. I loved the heroine Holly and the little boy Josh and his dog Louie. My only complaint is that it's too short and I want to know more about the characters.

Short but bygolly wowsers....i love it.

great so far

About the author

Kay Correll writes stories that are a cross between contemporary romance and women’s fiction.She likes her women’s fiction with a healthy dose of happily ever after. Her stories are set in the fictional small town of Comfort Crossing, Mississippi. While her books are a series, each one can be read as a stand-alone story.

Kay lives in the Midwest of the US and can often be found out and about with her camera, taking a myriad of photographs which she likes to incorporate into her book covers. When not lost in her writing or photography, she can be found spending time with her ever-supportive husband, playing with her puppies, or working in her garden. Their rowdy gaggle of five boys are all grown now, not that Kay believes that males ever truly grow up, but she’s fine with that.
