Cozy Little Christmas
Music therapist Hannah Goodwin has built the perfect life in Shelter Springs, Idaho—or so she tells herself. After her first love shattered her heart a dozen years ago, she’s channeled all her energy into helping others find healing through music. She doesn’t need romance to be happy, especially not during the holidays when loneliness threatens to creep in. But when she unexpectedly runs into Wes Kenner at the local senior center, all her carefully constructed walls come tumbling down.
Wes never planned to return to the town that holds his most painful memories, but recovering from a recent knife attack that left both him and his K9 partner Kodiak wounded, he has little choice. Seeing Hannah again reminds him of everything bright and beautiful he pushed away in his quest for justice after his family was torn apart. As Hannah fights to keep two young children in Shelter Springs for the holidays and enlists his reluctant help with her annual benefit concert, Wes begins to wonder if it’s possible to heal more than just physical wounds this Christmas season.
With the magic of music, the warmth of small-town community, and an injured dog who loves carols, maybe second chances really can lead to the coziest Christmas of all.
A heartwarming story of healing, redemption, and finding your way back to love during the most wonderful time of year.
