The Mistletoe Express (Mistletoe Falls Series: Book 3) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781966093381)

Sometimes the best journeys don't take you away from home-they lead you straight to it.

When big-city journalist Sadie Baker accepts a twelve-week trial position in the charming mountain town of Mistletoe Falls, Tennessee, she's desperate to prove she can build something lasting instead of always running from place to place. Her mission? Revitalize tourism for the beloved Mistletoe Express train that's the heart of this small town community. What she doesn't expect is to clash with Cole Bennett-the ruggedly protective conductor who sees her fresh ideas as threats to his late father's precious legacy.

Cole has spent years maintaining the historic Mistletoe Express exactly as his father left it, using tradition as both armor and purpose. The last thing he needs is an outsider with big dreams and color-coded notebooks trying to change everything he's sworn to protect. But as snow begins to fall and they're forced to collaborate on magical holiday events, their professional battle ignites something neither saw coming-a love story that could either derail everything they've worked for or become the journey home they've both been searching for.

From the Tree Lighting Ceremony at the depot to the enchanted Christmas Eve ride through snow-covered mountains, Sadie and Cole must learn to trust each other with their deepest fears and biggest dreams. Can a woman who's never belonged anywhere find her place with a man who's never left home? And can Cole risk opening his heart again when love has always meant loss?
