The residents of the idyllic town of Coldstone Creek all agree on one thing—Audrey Merry is the best. Audrey is Coldstone Creek’s beloved sweetheart with her perky, sunshine attitude and deep love for her community. The bakery owner feels the same way about her hometown, but one person in particular catches her eye—the town recluse. He’s a nut she can’t crack, but she won’t let this holiday season pass without giving it her best shot. Brenner Thomas isn’t in the mood for all the holly and jolly decking the halls and every street corner. Ever since his wife’s death, he’d rather spend his time alone, crunching numbers and pretending the world outside his front door doesn’t exist. It’s easier that way, and there’s no chance of his heart getting crushed worse than it already is. But Brenner can’t escape the obligatory celebration with Mrs. Kilmer, the mayor’s wife, assigning cheery chores to everyone whether they’re interested or not. Decorating, gift delivering, and an impromptu snowball fight force Brenner out of his comfort zone, but doing all those things with Audrey by his side makes the holiday—and his future—sparkle again. ***Merry Takes Main Street is a sweet, swoony Christmas romance with loads of heart, healing, and second chances at life and love!*** Merry Takes Main Street is a holiday prequel to the Life with the Thomas Brothers series.
Author
M. J. Padgett is first and foremost a mom. Her free-spirited daughter has quite the vivid imagination, and her antics sometimes find their way into her mommy’s work. She is a lover of all things chocolate, a Grimm and Dickens addict, a self-proclaimed smarty-pants, and an introvert to the core. Writing is her true passion (after raising her daughter, of course), and she writes as often as possible. One of her favorite things about writing is creating a world where people can escape reality for a little while, maybe even walk away feeling hopeful about the real world around them. When it comes to reading, she loves a book that can make her forget where she is no matter the genre. If she can get lost and feel like the characters are her real friends, she’s a happy reader.
