Publisher's Synopsis
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.
Sarah
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.
Donnie
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?
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.
