McKenzie Forsberg is headed home. She's quit
her big-city job to return to her roots in the small
town of Lake Forest. Kenzi hopes to buy her
childhood home from her brother, Tom, as a way of
revisiting the peace and security she's been missing
in her life. But soon she is shocked to discover that
the house has a pending sale, and Tom won't budge
from the sale—not even for his sister.
Handsome widower Jared Rawlins catches Kenzie's
eye until she realizes that he's the one who is buying
her house—but he can only close the deal if he sells
his own house by Christmas Eve. Jared is more than
a little interested in Kenzie, but has second thoughts
when it seems that she may be sabotaging the sale of
his home.
Slippery feelings of animosity and distrust ensue,
with both Jared and Kenzie denying the chemistry
between them. But then an unexpected discovery
about their connected past puts a new twist in the
dynamic. Now, can they put their differences aside
and come to terms with a relationship that could last
forever?
