Heart of the Season (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966093343)

Robin Fitch thought she had everything figured out-a thriving nursing career in small-town Laurel Ridge, West Virginia, and a heart safely protected from the kind of love that leaves you breathless and broken. But when she's assigned to provide in-home care for Jake Gibson after his devastating farm accident, she walks straight into her past and comes face-to-face with Wyatt Gibson, the forest ranger who took her heart with him twelve years ago and never looked back.

Wyatt built his life around solitude and the wilderness, choosing the peacefulness of forestry service and the dangerous isolation of wildland firefighting in West Virginia over the messy complications of family and forever. But Jake's injuries shatter his carefully constructed world and force him home to Gibson's Tree Farm during their make-or-break Christmas season. With the family legacy hanging by a thread and hundreds of families depending on their perfect holiday traditions, Wyatt discovers he needs help from the one woman he never stopped loving-and never thought he deserved.

As snow falls over the rolling Christmas tree groves and the magic of the holiday season weaves through their days, Robin and Wyatt must navigate the tender space between professional duty and matters of the heart. Working side by side to assist Jake's recovery and the farm's survival, they rediscover the deep connection that time and distance couldn't destroy. But with Wyatt's Forest Service career calling him back this time offering a job in Colorado instead of West Virginia and Robin's independent life carefully built around never being left behind again, can they find the courage to trust in second chances and the faith to believe that some love stories are worth the risk?
