A Winter Promise: A Novella

Innkeeper Anna Tumblesby has her strengths. She bakes a mean quiche, and she can make any weary traveler feel welcome at her cozy Archer Cove Inn. But holiday cheer? Not her thing. So when her sister convinces her to plan the town’s holiday festival, Anna approaches the task with a healthy dose of trepidation and vows to make the best of it. She’ll deck the halls and wear an elf suit and grit her teeth until it’s all over. Ben Tanner doesn’t mean to throw a wrench in Anna’s plans by showing up at the inn. All he wants for Christmas is to somehow win her back. But the Anna he finds is closed off to reconciliation, and Ben fears that the pain of their shared history may have torn them apart for good. ‘Tis the season for love and miracles…but will that be enough?
