Stranded by a snowstorm, a grieving widow and her young son find an unexpected holiday haven with a handsome firefighter.

Two and a half years after Grace Wilcox’s husband died a war hero, the hole in her heart and life remains. She is determined to start over with her young son, but a fierce snowstorm thwarts her plans, stranding them in the small town of Hood Hamlet. Desperate for help, Grace knocks on a stranger’s door and is rescued by a handsome firefighter.

Bill Paulson generously invites the two wayward travelers into his home. While a relationship and a ready-made family aren’t on his radar, something about the widow and her son deeply touches his heart. While Grace’s truck is being repaired, she is determined to give her son a special Christmas. An overgrown kid who loves the holidays himself, Bill decides to do the exact same thing for Grace.

As they share the magic of the season, a powerful attraction flares between them. The romantic conflict is clear: Grace absolutely refuses to gamble her fragile heart on another hero in uniform, and Bill doesn’t consider himself husband material. The stakes are high for this makeshift family—can a little Christmas magic show them that love is finally worth the risk?

Delightful Read

This whole series is well worth the time to read and this final book is like a
great dessert after an excellent meal.
There were times I laughed, times I felt the character's fear and always felt their love for each other.
Theirs is a place where the "magic of Christmas" is abundant. We all should live so well.
I dearly love children, the child in this story is absolutely adorable A truly delightful read.

fun, entertaining read

Grace has had a rough life - disowned by her parents, death of her Ranger husband. However, she has Liam, her 3 year old son, whom she loves unconditionally. But, fate is throwing her a major curve when her truck breaks down in a snow storm. Bill is a firefighter and medic who plays the field, not wanting a commitment. But, fate throws them together and both find that their lives are about to change dramatically. Fun, entertaining read. Fun series.

Bill and Grace are the best

How fortunate Grace found Bill’s snowman in a white-out blizzard. How fortunate Bill let himself believe in Christmas magic. Totally an emotionally charged roller coaster, this story does not disappoint. Please, Melissa, write some more from Hood Hamlet.

Christmas Magic and Miracle

This sixth story in the series is the perfect topper on the wedding cake of second chance loves. All were wonderful but this one more than touched my heart, so beautifully written. I am so glad Grace and her son Liam get their second chance at love with Bill.

Love Never Fails

We all need a little Christmas magic in our lives. This book was a amazing I have to say the ending had me wiping tears. This book was very well written. As h book in this series was about love, believing and maybe a little Christmas magic. I highly recommend you reading all these books.
