Holly Bough Cottage

She wants to forget. He cant help but remember. Can a little Christmas magic bring the healing they both desperately need?The last thing Liv was planning to do on December 9th was move back to her hometown after finalizing a divorce. Facing the possibility of spending Christmas alone-or even worse at her over-eager parents-she booked a two-week stay at the first affordable well-rated winter retreat she could find: Holly Bough Cottage in the Colorado Rockies. With her interior design business slowing down over the holidays Liv can practically smell the pine trees and warm apple cider but most importantly? She wont have to face anyone for at least fourteen days.Jonah wasnt planning on being anywhere but home for Christmas but when the owners of the Cottages posted on a community board that their handyman injured himself he decided to pull them a solid. It didnt hurt that they were offering a free stay and double the daily rate he usually made as a middle-school science teacher.When Liv discovers that the man who came to replace her thermostat is staying in the next cottage over she finds herself looking for opportunities to sit on the porch while answering emails. Even if it is thirty below.Jonah battling ghosts of his own cant help but walk the long way to the office in the hopes of catching a moment with her. With Livs heart still raw from past wounds and Jonah hiding a past life that could ruin any budding relationship their initial attraction doesnt seem to stand a chance.Will their unexpected meeting during the most magical of times be enough to open their hearts to loving and trusting again?
