Maddox was returning to Evergreen Lakes although he never thought he would return to his hometown. But when he saw that the sheriff was retiring he applied for the job with no hesitation.
He is going to miss his nieces and his sister isn't too happy to be losing her favorite babysitter, but he knows Evergreen Lakes is where he needs to be. Before leaving town he stopped into his favorite Christmas store for an ornament. As soon as he saw the delicate ornament he knew it was perfect even the woman at the counter told him it was magical.
Despite it being dark outside as soon as he got close to town he sped up. He grew up in these mountains and knew them like the back of his hand. Until a huge deer steps out in front of his truck causing him to swerve into a snowbank. He wonders how long before everybody knows how the new sheriff crashed into town. News travels fast in a small town.
Seeing lights on in a cottage past the snowdrifts he starts walking hoping someone is home. When he knocks on the door he is shocked when he sees his sister's best friend Ruby. The one who got away.
Ruby and her best friend Sabrina are sitting down with a bottle of wine as they plan their weekend together and talk about Ruby's upcoming marriage. When Sabrina hands her an early gift she opens the box to find a gorgeous Christmas ornament. Sabrina teases that the shop owner told her it was magical and would reveal her one true love. As soon as she lifts the ornament there is a knock on the door.
Her heart catches... because it is not her fiance standing at the door.
I love this story! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Ruby has been having doubts about her fiance for a while and her confusion is amplified when her best friend's brother returns to town as the new sheriff.
This second-chance holiday romance is action-packed and full of surprises. The trouble drunk girlfriends can get into... especially when they dare the new sheriff to join in. Highly recommend!
