Book Description
A beautiful bride with cold feet. Feet that are running straight out the small town church doors and away from the wedding she didn’t plan. With her wedding gown flapping in the cold December wind, Karlene gallops to the town’s limits on a “borrowed” horse. Only one person anticipates her next move: her steady-as-a-rock childhood crush—her brother’s best friend. He’s six years her senior, and a man who’s never minded her tagging along. Instinctively, Joey knows where Karlene’s going and what she needs. He sets her up with a fresh horse to a bed roll so she can hide out at their old camping cabin far from what will surely be a very dramatic Christmas with her parents and almost-in-laws. However, her plans hit an unexpected snag, but, once again, Joey comes to the rescue, offering her safe haven on his ranch. As Karlene spends the holidays with her secret-crush cowboy, will he begin to see her as more just a grown-up version of that tag-along kid she used to be? And will the magic of the season bring her heart its deepest wish as well as a second chance at love? This is a sweet Christmas romance novella with a runaway bride, a cowboy, an older brother's best friend, an age gap, and of course true love!
