Christmas Presence: A Garland Grove Holiday Romance

“Christmas Presence, with its plot twists and good, clean, real romance, reminds me of old-fashioned Christmas ribbon candy, preferably peppermint, enjoyed with a mug of hot chocolate and a fuzzy blanket.” While Amy Edwards has not been home in over a decade, the traveling nurse is excited to return to help the local hospital deliver a surge of babies expected over the holidays. But Garland Grove Memorial is not the same place she remembers. A heavy-handed administrator and an arrogant new doctor cause Amy to wonder if she made the right decision. For Dr. Andrew Bennett, Garland Grove is the place he came to forget the past. An overbearing father and the crushing disappointment of a failed relationship brought him to town. And, while he’s good at his job, he is missing out on the joys of life taking place around him. Sparks fly from the moment Amy and Andrew meet, but not the kind ignited by romance. Amy wants her hometown to see how great a nurse she is. Andrew has his doubts about her. Amy’s not back a week before her job is on the line and rumors start flying. Andrew is her most vocal critic. You might never expect romance to grow between two people as opposite as Amy and Andrew, but never underestimate the magic of Christmas. “A wonderful book with delightful characters and a sweet romance. Enjoy some tea (or wine), relax, and escape to Garland Grove. You won’t regret it!”
