The type of novels I write may have changed, since I was first published, but even an early story like this one still has familiar traits. There's the location, for one: All I Want from Santa (originally published as New Year's Daddy) is set in Oregon, a place I truly love and have made the backdrop for many of my other novels...
The small town of Cascadia is home to Veronica Walsh and her young daughter, Amy. If Ronni still believed in Santa, she'd ask for a chance to buy the rundown old lodge next door and turn it into a B&B. Amy's Christmas wish list, on the other hand, includes one item that catches Ronni off-guard: a new daddy. But, four-years after losing her husband in a tragic accident, Ronni doesn't plan to get, involved with anyone-least of all the lodge's new owner.
Travis Keegan has moved from Seattle to get his wayward teenaged son back on track. Yet the moment he meets Ronni, he wonders if this could be the fresh start, they all need. Healing from loss and melding their two families won't be easy, but Christmas in Cascadia has a magic that may just prove irresistible...
All I Want from Santais a heartwarming holiday romance, the kind that never goes out of style, and the kind I still love to read. I hope you do too.
