I started writing my Wrapped Up in Christmas stories for Hallmark Publishing, so it’s no wonder that they are Christmas coated and sweet. I adore the small town of Pine Hill, Kentucky as it embodies a happy, wholesome town where Christmas reigns supreme.

There are currently four books in the series with the fourth coming out today.  Wrapped Up in Christmas Love is a story I am so proud of. As an author,  there are just some stories that are more special, and this is one of those. Isabelle was first introduced in book two, Wrapped Up in Christmas Joy, which was her sister’s story. I knew it was going to take a very special hero to win her heart. Zach was the right man for the mission. I knew he was going to have to be someone who pushed all her buttons, challenging her out of her comfort zone and making her confront things she’d buried in the past. Zach is a new character to the series and is Pine Hill to visit his friend from their Army days, Bodie Lewis.

Falling for Zach is torturous for Isabelle because he’s everything she’s always said she doesn’t want. He had such fun teasing her and I had so much fun letting him. But Isabelle got to do some pushing out of comfort zone to Zach, too, as he has some things to work through himself due to his estranged relationship with his family and his PTSD from his military service.

Here’s the back cover blurb:

On paper he reads like Mr. Wrong, but under the mistletoe he feels so right…

Determined to ensure her sister’s wedding is storybook perfect, Isabelle Davis secretly hires Army Veteran Zach Dawson to locate her estranged father. But the more time she spends with Zach surrounded by Christmas spirit and twinkling lights, Isabelle fears she’s falling in love. Can she trust her heart to a man whose past seems so similar to her absent father’s?

Zach Dawson proudly served his country for twelve years until an injury ended his military career. He holds his secrets close, but he’ll help Isabelle find her father—even if the man doesn’t want to be found. And if he’s also sewing up a storm at Isabelle’s quilt shop, and appreciating every moment spent with her, it doesn’t have to mean anything, much.

Unless he can somehow persuade Isabelle to take a chance on love? That’s a mission he’s eager to accept.

GIVEAWAY: Have you ever known someone who faked a relationship? I’ve seen lots of movies and read lots of books, have now written one, but I can’t recall a single real life fake relationship I’ve encountered. I have known lots of opposites attract and people who have fallen for someone who was exact opposite of what they say they want. Love finds a way to open our eyes to the possibility of things we can’t otherwise imagine. Do you find yourself more attracted to someone opposite of your personality or someone similar?
