Synopsis

Ivy I want the secure kind of love—the comforting kind that means my heart found shelter after a deep winter of loneliness. A love that can only be found when my home becomes a person and not a place. I’m a ballerina, and I danced my way from the small, New England town of Birch Borough to the stages of New York City. Now, I’m back home, running my own dance studio. It’s the perfect life in the perfect place, except for my memories of him … the man who got away. Years ago, I ran into Jace, and my connection with the boxer was instantaneous. And then he disappeared, and for eight lonely years I’ve wondered if what we shared that one Christmas night was only a dream. When his daughter joins my dance studio, Jace and I collide again. But will a holiday miracle be enough to restore our fated connection? Jace I met a Christmas angel one night on an ice-skating rink, and then I let her get away when grief stole my heart and drove me to run. But now I have a daughter who loves to dance, and I want her to spend the holidays with family. So we’re back in Birch Borough, and the one woman I never thought I’d see again is her dance teacher. Despite the past and my grumpy demeanor, there’s still a spark between us, and I almost feel … hope. The only We’re moving to Florida on Christmas Eve. If anyone besides my daughter can bring me back to life, it’s Ivy. But the clock is ticking. Will there be enough time to restore our missed connection before the Christmas magic fades away forever? I Love Him Like Home is a sweet, swoony, small-town, closed door, contemporary romance with lots of heat but none of the spice (except ginger). Full of the coziness of the winter season, it’s the third in a series of standalone romances set in the fictional New England town of Birch Borough.
