After fifteen years as a widow, is it Nora's turn for love?
Nora Cooper has spent long years running her restaurant, raising her kids, and keeping a lock on her heart. Now sheโs tiredโespecially with Christmas coming and trying to pull her sonโs wedding together in four short weeks. She canโt help but wonder how empty her life will be with the kids moving on.
When retired CEO Forrest Holt visits McCormickโs Creek, Oregon, something about the small town charms him. Heโs entranced with the way strangers are welcomed, with the way townspeople pull together, and especially with the way Nora Cooper lights up a forgotten feeling inside him. But heโs used to love โem and leave โem relationships, and sheโs not that type.
As her sonโs Christmas wedding draws ever nearer, Noraโs life becomes a flurry of activities after long days of work. Can she make time for Forrest, who is beginning to open her heart? And is he willing to risk himself and commit to more than a fling?
