The Tree Farmer's Heart

A widowed farmer. A weary nurse. A Christmas season that just might heal them both.

When Alex Chambers, a hardworking Christmas tree farmer in the mountains of Ashe County, North Carolina, loads up his truck for the holiday sales trip to Winston-Salem, he's focused on one thing: keeping his struggling farm afloat for another year. He doesn't expect tangled lights, muddy boots, or a quick-witted nurse with a smile that lingers long after she walks away.

Tricia Winters isn't looking for romance. Fresh from a painful divorce and buried in hospital shifts, she's just trying to make it through the holidays in one piece. But when she crosses paths with Alex-frazzled, kind, and utterly sincere-something in her heart begins to thaw.

Between snowy nights, a holiday parade, and a mischievous teenage son, Alex and Tricia find themselves drawn together by shared humor, quiet understanding, and a spark that feels like home. But love after loss isn't simple-and it will take courage, forgiveness, and a little Christmas magic for two wounded hearts to take root again.
