Rebecca Trengrouse is quite possibly the worst businesswoman in the world.All she ever wanted was to run her family's bakery in tiny Port Willis, England, but that dream was squashed when her father decided to close up shop without asking her.Now, thanks to mounting debt and an aversion to marketing (and, let's be honest-people in general), she needs to sell the bed and breakfast she bought on a whim a few years ago.And fast.So when a handsome guest makes her a purchase offer that's halfway decent, she knows she shouldn't refuse.But there's just something about the guy she doesn't like.It doesn't matter that the American is her friend Ginny's older brother. Benjamin's casual smile, perfectly tousled hair, and arrogant chocolate eyes are exactly the kind of charming Rebecca knows to keep at arms' length.But that becomes difficult when the two of them get snowed in together at the inn during a freak Christmas blizzard.And as cozy as things are getting between them, Rebecca knows it wouldn't be smart to open her heart to yet another man who is destined to leave her.But love is not as predictable as baked goods.And the heart does not always do what is smart.This holiday romance is the perfect escape for readers of sweet and inspirational fiction who adore stories about love, friendship, and learning to look for the light in the twists and turns of life.
