She came home burned out. He’s the firefighter making it harder to leave.
Jenna Ashby comes home to Peppermint Falls with everything she owns packed in her car, and no intention of admitting she has nowhere to go.
After losing her biggest marketing client and giving up her lease, the youngest Ashby sister needs money and a fresh start. Selling Gingerbread Cottage is supposed to provide both.
Then she finds Reid checking the smoke alarms.
Reid is the local firefighter who quietly looked after the cottages for her grandmother, handling safety checks and keeping an eye on the property whenever it stood empty. He’s steady, dependable, and far too good at seeing through the jokes Jenna uses to convince everyone she’s fine.
But as snowy days at Gingerbread Cottage bring them closer, Jenna begins to question whether starting over means starting somewhere else.
Jenna knows how to sell the perfect story. But Reid is making her want something real.
Titles in the Peppermint Falls series include: Mistletoe Cottage ~ Cocoa Cottage ~ Peppermint Cottage ~
This is a no-spice romance, perhaps with closed-door or fade-to-black scenes. Tension and kisses might be involved.
