A Candycane Wish

Love stories are fiction. Just ask an author.

Holly
Sometimes, I wish my life could be like the bestselling romances I write. In those stories, the boyfriend doesn't break up with his girlfriend the day before he's supposed to meet her parents. Everyone gets their happily ever after.

Things can't get any worse, right?

Wrong. My book deadline flies past before I realize it. Now I'm single and jobless. I give up. It's time to forget everything I think I know about romance. My best friend is determined to cheer me up, but a picturesque bed and breakfast in a small mountain town isn't going to make a difference. Even if the owner is a drop-dead gorgeous actor. Especially not then.

A year ago, I left Hollywood and never looked back. What did the world expect after America's sweetheart shattered my heart? My manager is livid, but I can't bring myself to care anymore.

It's time to put my past in the rearview.

Opening a bed and breakfast in rural Idaho feels like the perfect escape-the best way to find peace, happiness, and isolation from everything I hate about the city. My no-dating-tourists rule ensures I never put my heart on the line again. The beautiful romance author who just checked in? Not my concern. She can't possibly teach me anything I don't already know about falling in love.

Rumor has it that little Breckenridge, Idaho hides a secret. For the pure in heart, a visit to Stella's Bakery may grant a magical gift-the chance to find true love. But don't believe everything you hear. See for yourself in A Candycane Wish.

When Christmas comes around, everyone has their own special wish. For some, those wishes are as simple as getting the perfect gift for that special someone. For others, those wishes are much bigger. Especially, when they wish for love.

Everyone deserves the gift of love, but sometimes that's more complicated than it should be.

This year is different.

For those pure of heart, their wishes, even their wishes for true love, just might be granted.
