Love at First Pint

<p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Welcome to Rapids Bay Minnesota where the beer is cold the gossip is warm and love tends to show up when you least expect it.</em></p><p></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Sarah</strong></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Spending the holidays alone is a special kind of loneliness but who would have guessed a little Christmas road trip would lead to a man ready and willing to bring me into his crazy... until I ran in the other direction. Running away and being alone on Christmas was never the plan but it gave me a chance at a fresh start a new purpose. What I didn't expect? Handwritten letters from the quiet grumpy mechanic and metal artist I left behind. Donnie Larson. A Viking with a heart of gold. He's everything I never knew I wanted-and everything I'm scared to lose.</span></p><p></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Donnie</strong></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>My life was simple-fixing cars by day and crafting metal sculptures by night. Then Sarah blew into town with her over-the-top energy and unstoppable smile turning my world upside down. She appreciates my art for what it is and is the only woman who's ever made me want more. I want her to stay; I need her to come to me but... I can't get her off my mind so I let my letters speak for me hoping she'll come back to me. After all you can't strong-arm love... can you?</span></p><p></p><p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>What happens when a big-city girl finds a home in a small-town artist's heart? Sparks laughs and enough romance to melt even the iciest of Minnesota winters.</em></p>
