Synopsis

"Laney Gray thought she had her life all figured out?until her fairytale wedding turned into a public betrayal. Jilted at the altar and humiliated by the very people she trusted most, Laney flees the city for Sugarville Grove, the picturesque small town where she once spent her happiest summers. Seeking solace in her aunt?s charming bookstore, Laney hopes to piece her life back together in time for Christmas. What she doesn?t expect is to run into Nolan Hayes?the quiet, bookish boy who stole her heart one magical summer. Now an English professor with a steady presence and a smile that still makes her knees weak, Nolan is no longer the shy teenager Laney remembers. But as their paths cross amidst twinkling lights and snow-covered streets, the connection between them feels as familiar?and as powerful?as ever. Laney may be a city girl out of her element in Sugarville Grove, but as she works to rebuild the bookstore?s holiday traditions, she finds herself drawn not only to the town?s simple charms but also to Nolan?s quiet strength. Yet, both carry scars from the past?hers from a shattered engagement, and his from a heartbreak he?s never shared. Can the magic of Christmas help Laney and Nolan find the courage to take a second chance on love? Or will old wounds keep them from the happy ending they?ve been waiting for all along?" -- Cover, p. [4].
