A charming small town. A secret obligation. And the girl of his dreams can never know the truth. The adopted heir of a wealthy Victorian-age family, Pete Darling anonymously distributes the family money to remaining relatives in need. He's delighted to find the holiday spirit alive and well in magical Thorpes, but he never expects a sassy, independent woman at the Lava Java will distract him from his duties and give him a reason to reveal his secrets. Garland Tate has a name that reminds her every day that she lives in the Christmas-obsessed town of Thorpes. The holidays mean family time, and since her mother's terminal illness, that's something she wants to avoid. As snow falls and hearts melt, it may take a little extra magic to help Garland and Pete believe that a Christmas romance can last forever. This Peter Pan-inspired novella is a quick read with clean and wholesome romance.
