How does your heart heal when you're surrounded by reminders of everything you lost?

Escape to Sprucewood Colorado...

The last thing Liv was planning to do on December 9th was move back to her hometown after finalizing a divorce. Facing the possibility of spending Christmas alone—or even worse, at her over-eager parent's—she books a two-week stay at the first affordable, well-rated winter retreat she can find: Holly Bough Cottage in the Colorado Rockies. With her interior design business slowing down over the holidays, Liv can practically smell the pine trees and warm apple cider, but most importantly? She won't have to face anyone for at least fourteen days.

Jonah wasn't planning on being anywhere but home for Christmas, but when the owners of the Cottages posted on a community board that their handyman injured himself, he decided to pull them a solid. It didn't hurt that they were offering a free stay and double the daily rate he usually makes as a middle-school science teacher.

When Liv discovers that the man who came to reignite her pilot light is staying in the next cottage over, she finds herself looking for opportunities to sit on the porch while answering emails. Even if it is thirty below. Jonah, battling ghosts of his own, can't help but walk the long way to the maintenance shed in the hopes of catching a moment with her.

But as much as Liv is drawn to him, Jonah's story about his past isn't adding up. Is she falling again for the kind of guy who crushed her heart in the first place?

Liv wants to follow her heart.

But she doesn't know if she can trust it.

Holly Bough Cottage is a warm cup of cocoa in a book. Grab this holiday tale to experience the magic of a quaint Christmas town and find healing that comes in the most unexpected ways.
