White Pine Island Stories, book 17

December on White Pine Island is the perfect time for old friends to fall in love and new lovers to take a chance, but even with the backdrop of the Grand Hotel and the music of sleigh bells, true love needs some help from the magic of the Christmas season.

Stung by being left at the altar three Christmases ago, Sabrina has kept her mind and heart busy running Island Pizza. But she can’t hide forever, especially since a member of her closeknit friend group is getting married at the Grand Hotel on Christmas and bringing all the feelings—and all the friends—back to town. Including a special friend who drove her groom’s getaway car and hid behind three years of silence.

Ross knows it’s time to go home to White Pine Island and face the consequences of helping ruin Sabrina’s wedding, but first he must face the truth about why he did it. Is he brave enough to tell Sabrina he’s always loved her and will she forgive him and let him into her heart?

Heidi respects and admires the competent, attractive man who works for her parents’ porcelain business. When her skills as an artist are needed to help David seal a business deal for a large dish order for the Grand Hotel, she happily goes along for a two-week Christmas trip. She and David have worked together for years, but as she hand paints porcelain ornaments for Grand Hotel guests and dances with David in the ballroom, she senses something more than just holiday magic in the air. For David, this Christmas trip with Heidi is the perfect time to tell her he's loved her for years, but he’s taking a chance, risking his heart and his job with her family’s company. Like fine porcelain—delicate but beautiful—David and Heidi tread carefully among the pine boughs and sleigh bells to discover their own happy ending.
