This was her chance to be the Christmas movie heroine in real life.

Meghan Lake, an actress who's taking a break from L.A. to visit her daughter for Christmas, arrives in Tennessee after a shaky flight, but she's soon thrust into a publicity scandal with an Italian diplomat she met on the plane. She seeks refuge (okay, hides out and drowns her problems in too much hard cider) at Bear Bend Lodge, a cozy, secluded inn that exudes comfort and Christmas cheer. Between the scandal blowing up in the tabloids and a rocky relationship with her daughter, maybe she'll hide out there indefinitely. Who needs Hollywood?

He's her real-life Christmas movie hunk.

John Calloway, the owner of Bear Bend Lodge, is facing a dilemma. Neither of his sons plans to take ownership of the lodge when he's ready to retire, and Jack Nash is offering him more than enough to sell. He and Jack have bad blood, though, and John's ego is standing in the way of accepting the offer.

Out of nowhere, the woman John fell head over heels for years ago, walks into his lodge. She's famous now, and she doesn't remember him. He makes it his mission to remind her of that passionate summer long ago. Will she go back to California and break his heart all over again? He's not sure he'd recover this time.

This seasoned second-chance romance is as cozy as a Christmas movie and as steamy and delicious as a mug of hot cocoa in front of a crackling fire. This third book in the Edgewood Lake Romance series can be read as a standalone. Read the prequel Lights, Camera, Flashback, now available in ebook.
