Noelle

The last thing bookstore owner Noelle Jenkins expected on book club night was to have a total stranger invite himself at the last minute. Things go from bad to worse when the town matchmaker decides to intervene. Howie Jones is downright irritating, and Noelle will be glad to see the back of him when his short stay in Dewberry ends.

Howie Jones visits the quaint town out of curiosity, but when he becomes smitten with the demure book store owner, he is torn. He wants to see where their friendship will go, but is afraid of the implications. The sooner he leaves, the better. When disaster strikes, everything changes in a heartbeat.

Will he walk away and pretend they never met? Or will they face adversity together and seek a happy ever after ending?

Author's Promise: This is a heartwarming historical Christmas novella with a happily ever after ending and no cliffhangers. It is a clean and wholesome story with nothing more than hugs, kisses, and holding hands.
