An Aspen Ridge Christmas: Home for the Holidays
by Jill Haymaker
Do you believe in Christmas miracles?
At age sixty-six, Ginny Smart has always loved Christmas. Owner of Aspen Roast Coffee Shop in the small Colorado Mountain town of Aspen Ridge, she spends her holiday seasons spreading joy to all the town’s residents. But this year something is off. Maybe it’s the death of her brother, leaving her the only surviving member of her family. She’s never felt more alone.
Chester McMurtry has been a cowboy since he left home at eighteen. That was fifty years ago. He worked as a ranch hand on the Eagle Tree Cattle Ranch, just outside of Aspen Ridge for thirty years, before retiring to Arizona a year and a half ago. Longing for the Colorado Rocky Mountains and a white Christmas, he decides to come home to Aspen Ridge for the holiday.
Ginny had a secret crush on Chester for years, but never acted on it. When he walks back into her life a few days before Christmas, she decides to take a chance on a holiday romance. Although attraction sizzles between the two of them, they both know it will be over at the end of the week.
Can two people who have never found lasting love, find a way to overcome all obstacles with a little help from the spirit of Christmas, or is it too late? Have they missed their chance at love?
