Fiction Friday: One Enchanted Christmas

Will the author choose the cover model or his brother?

Generally I’m not one to do or say anything that smacks of Christmas before Thanksgiving…which is really hard since my latest release is a holiday story and came out in September. But being that it’s a week before Thanksgiving, I figure it’s fair game to at least mention what I plan to read as my first Christmas book. I’ve been told my writing is a lot like author Melissa Tagg, and I’ve never read her stuff. So, to top off my festive holiday reading this year, I’m going to give Once Upon an Enchanted Christmas a whirl. Here’s a blurb:

Last December, mystery author Maren Grant had the most perfect night of her life. On a glimmering winter evening, she got to watch the photo shoot for her very first book and ended up on a magical date with the cover model himself—Colin Renwycke.

Fast forward one year. This December, with a looming deadline, restless spirit and her creative spark long since gone, Maren is desperate to get unstuck. And she can’t get Colin out of her head…or his year-old open invitation to spend a couple weeks writing at his family’s farm.

Drew Renwycke never planned to come home and take over the Renwycke family farm. But he’s spent too many years watching his siblings unravel, including his brother, Colin, after one terrible family mistake. If moving to Maple Valley, Iowa, renovating an old farmhouse and switching careers is what it takes to put the Renwycke family back together, he’ll do it.

But his simple plan upends when a scrappy author lands on his doorstep. And she just might be the key to coaxing his brother home. But what if he wants her all to himself? Drew will have to choose between his Christmas wish and the enchantment of a holiday romance that just might be the happy ending they all long for.
