Book Description

Vaughn Miller’s Wall Street career was abruptly ended by a wrongful conviction and two years in prison. Since then, he’s returned to his hometown, kept his head down and forged a way forward. When he is exonerated and his name cleared, he feels he can hold his head up once again, maybe even talk to the beautiful café owner who sets his blood to simmering.

Sierra Crane escaped a disastrous marriage—barely. She and her six-year-old goddaughter have returned to the only place that feels like home. Determined to make it on her own, Sierra opens a soup café. Complication is the last thing she needs, but the moment Vaughn walks into her café, she can’t keep her eyes off the smoldering loner.

When they give in to their attraction, what Sierra thought would be a onetime thing becomes so much more. Vaughn knows she’s the one. Sierra can’t deny the way Vaughn makes her feel, but she’s been burned before. With Christmas approaching, Vaughn takes a chance to prove his love, and it will be up to Sierra to decide if her one Christmas wish—true happiness—will come true.

My Thoughts

When I first received this book I was excited t find a new author to enjoy. I admit I did not know until after downloading it that it was the fifth book in a series. Though I enjoy it I wish I had read the previous books so I was better acquainted with some of the characters.

With that said this was a beautiful story of healing and love after suffering heartache and betrayal. I valued the way the author allowed the characters to get to know each other and to slowly find their way. It was refreshing to see an author create a story where love can blossom again and how a heart can heal.

this story held me captive as I took the journey with Sierra and Vaughn. Their story was beautiful. It left me in tears at times and sparked joy in my heart.
