Blue skies and moonlit sea, seashells and sunkissed beaches! This spot on the Baja coast is everything widow Carolyn McAndrews hoped for on her Christmas vacation from snow and cold back in Colorado. No eligible men or romance, her friend had warned, but that was fine with Carolyn.
But what she hadn't counted on is a refigerator that doesn't work, a shower faucet that breaks off in her hand while she's lathered with soap, and water that tastes undrinkable. There's supposed to be a generator that makes electricity, but Carolyn can't even identify it, much less figure out how to use it. She'd probably turn around and head home, but that's another problem: her van is mired deep in the sand.
Enter Ward Setlow, a good-looking guy with crisp silver hair, an easy grin, and a fix-it ability to take care of all her problems. A guy who quickly disproves her friend's statement about a lack of romance here.
Ward also has an admirable plan to use his fix-it talents in the coming years, and he's in a holding pattern now, just waiting to see to what faraway place the Lord will send him. It's a plan that also makes Carolyn see that no matter how deep and unexpectedly powerful the attraction between them is, she has secrets that mean this can never be more than a brief Christmas romance. Unless the Lord has something different in mind . . .
Most of Lorena McCourtney's readers know her as a mystery author, but this novella shows she writes great romance too.
