A pastor with a dark past looking for a second chance.
A determined jeweler looking to restore favor.
A secret that won’t be silenced.
Former bad boy drummer Pastor Michael Chandler has managed to keep the darker parts of his past a secret while faithfully serving his church in Wild Rose Ridge. If found out, his church might declare him unfit for ministry. When he encounters the woman he abandoned years ago, his day of reckoning blows in like a blizzard.
Custom jewelry designer Leilah Grant doesn’t hesitate to push her business aside so she can manage her parents’ jewelry shop during the Christmas season. She’ll do anything to restore favor in their eyes. But when her world collides with Michael—her ex-turned-beloved-town-preacher—the past threatens to destroy her future. Worse, the town’s meddling mothers conspire to create another heavenly match.
Will Michael’s confession from the pulpit free his heart or cost him his reputation—and the only woman he’s ever loved?
It’s the season of miracles, and the meddlers are determined to give the gift of a second chance romance.

A ballerina who won’t dance.
A smitten widower.
And the town that’s wooing them both.
Rose Stevens lost it all after one devastating night in Seattle. Five years later, she’s living her forsaken dream by training ballerina hopefuls at her studio in Wild Rose Ridge. It’s the only life she can bear. But can she hang onto it?
During his brief stay in the ridge, workaholic widower Jon Arrington must prove to his meddling in-laws he’s a great dad—even investing in his daughter’s dream to dance professionally. But it will require him to interact with Rose, the woman he watched perform years ago … and stupidly fell in love with.
If Jon’s daughter can pull off a flawless performance at the spring festival, it will put a stop to Rose’s landlord’s attempt to close her doors. But his impulsive decision to remove his daughter from the ballet corners an unprepared Rose to take her place.
The conundrum forces her to choose between the life she secretly longs for or the man who stirs memories of tragic loss. Or is the enchanting town of Wild Rose Ridge working its magic to give them a second chance at love?
