This Christmas, home might be the best destination of all. Jason Regan doesn’t do relationships or Christmas traditions. His engineering firm keeps him constantly on the move, and that’s the way he likes it. But one quick trip to Holly, Idaho, turns into an unexpected stay when a judge hands him community service at the town’s struggling animal shelter. Tess Evans traded courtroom battles for saving strays, pouring everything she has into the Forever Home Animal Shelter. With her make-or-break “Home for the Holidays” adoption event approaching, the last thing she needs is distraction… especially in the form of a broad-shouldered, maddeningly handsome volunteer who makes her pulse race. From fixing kennels to chasing one mischievous terrier, their chemistry sparks hotter than a Christmas fire. But Jason’s time in Holly has an expiration date. Can a little holiday magic—and a lot of temptation—convince him that some things are worth staying for? A heartwarming small-town romance full of holiday spirit, found family, and furry friends—perfect for fans of RaeAnne Thayne and Debbie Macomber. Previously published as A Home for the Holidays.
