Christmas in Full Bloom

Wheatley (Love at the Icicle Café) once again immerses readers in a delightful small-town Christmas in this contemporary romance. Lauren Beal, the owner of a successful floral design company in Chicago, heads home to Maple Valley, MI, for Christmas and to help plan her sister’s holiday wedding. Almost instantly, a mutual attraction flowers between Lauren and her childhood friend Mel Jennings (a doctor who’s also the groom’s best man). Lauren and Mel are clearly into each other, but their respective jobs keep pulling them apart every time they start to make a connection. The hero and heroine are both lovely people who are loyal to friends and family, making their relationship seem inevitable—except for the “how will we make time for each other?” dilemma, and the question of whether Mel could give up his Maple Valley practice or Lauren could run her business outside of Chicago.
