His Christmas Wish
She dreads returning home for the holidays. He’s the guilt-ridden mountain rescuer desperate to help her heal.
Carly Bishop doesn’t want to come home for Christmas. The town of Hood Hamlet is filled with nothing but heartbreaking reminders of the fiancé and brother she lost in a tragic accident six years ago. But her family needs her, so Carly must dig deep to unearth her Christmas spirit so she can give her niece and nephew the best holiday ever.
Mountain rescuer Jake Porter has carried a heavy burden since that fateful day, believing he could have saved his two friends and spared the Bishop family such a heart-wrenching loss. He hopes that helping Carly rediscover the magic of Christmas will allow him to finally move forward, though he's not certain anything can relieve the guilt that's kept him stuck all these years.
As Jake and Carly spend more time together, an undeniable attraction grows. But the romantic conflict is fierce: toe-curling mistletoe kisses aside, Jake is convinced his late best friend would never think he is good enough for his little sister. The stakes are high as Jake attempts to open her heart to something she’s completely given up on—love. Can they overcome their shared grief, or will the ghosts of their past keep them apart forever?
