Darby Duncross didn’t have much as a teen, a fact that never stopped her from working hard to make a success of herself. But in all the time she was focused only on surviving, and thriving, she never forgot her first love. A new job brought her back to Tennessee and to the man who’d set the bar for every date she’d ever had. When she runs into her first love at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in Pineridge, she isn’t sure she should go back home. He never looked for her, never bothered to track her down. A sign she took to mean he didn’t truly want the poor girl from the bad side of town.
Wade Shelton couldn’t believe his luck when Darby reappeared in his life. Still beautiful, still driven, still the only woman in the world for him. He isn’t a romantic, so he shouldn’t believe in second chances. She’d vanished as a teen, but that hadn’t stopped him thinking of her. Now a doctor in the very town where they’d grown up, he’d be a fool not to seize the opportunity afforded by this unexpected reunion.
Can the magic of Christmas rekindle the old flame that still burns between them? Or should they let the mutual attraction from their past stay in the past? All Darby knows is that when Christmas calls her home, it sounds like an invitation to a life of love and happiness.
Genre: Romance
