Synopsis: From the author of A Simple Vow, a Christmas romance blooms for a troubled young Amish woman and a bad-boy horse trainer. Nora Hooley&’s shop, Simple Gifts, is abuzz with preparations for the holiday open house, and Rosalyn Riehl is handcrafting wreaths from evergreen boughs, pinecones, and other natural materials. The work is a welcome diversion for the only unmarried daughter of Cornelius Riehl: her gruff dat has been receiving envelopes marked Past Due, leaving dutiful Rosalyn to manage the household&’s inexplicably shrinking budget. Then another distraction swaggers into Simple Gifts—blue-jeaned and leather-jacketed, with a reputation that precedes him. Marcus Hooley hightailed it to Willow Ridge on a wing and a prayer—not that he&’s the praying type. He rejected his Amish roots long ago. But behind the bad-boy attitude is a gifted horse trainer who&’s counting on some bent-but-not-broken family ties to throw him a lifeline. He can&’t erase his past, but a sparking attraction with strong, spirited Rosalyn holds the promise of a second chance…and of shedding light on shadowy secrets to build a bright tomorrow.Praise for Charlotte Hubbard&“Hubbard writes Amish stories with style and grace.&”—RT Book Reviews &“Charlotte Hubbard has a way of writing that draws you into the story from beginning to end.&”—Romance Junkies
