Holiday Hearts

Take a trip to Junction, Georgia and fall in love. Five stories. Four seasons.

"Christmas at Sunrise"

Portrait artist Lauren "sees" in other their heart's desire. As a teenager, she fled coastal Georgia after her father's death. She only returns to Junction once a year to visit her great aunt at the beach house. Now she may inherit it, but only if she completes the two-weeks-before Christmas task list. Can she bury the past and call the beach house her home? Justice, her aunt's estate attorney, seeks fairness in all he does, including falling in love. He fears Lauren doesn't remember him as the boy-next-door, but if he can get her to gaze into his eyes, he's certain she'll recognize true love.

"Only in My Christmas Dreams"

Chelsea Cooper struggles to balance her pottery business with caring for her mother with dementia. She doesn't have time for parties, dates, and most of all falling in love—those are memories of holidays past. Celebrity chef Zachary Tanner is new in town and exploring his recently discovered roots. His interest in Chelsea isn't whimsical, like some of his food. He's determined to convince her that love is the best Christmas present—but will she give him a chance?

"Hope, Hearts, and Happiness"

Mika Morrison believes in hard work to earn her way. She's not relying on a husband or an inheritance to secure her future—how her mother has lived her life. Mika has goals and plans. Though for once, it would be a perfect birthday if she could celebrate Valentine's Day with a true love, but she's too busy to date. Cade Cooper wants true love. He's traveled to many places, been paid well to take photographs, and met many people. And when he meets Mika, he knows she's the person he's been waiting for to share his life. Will she even make time for him?

"Summertime Fireworks"

Creating a one-of-a-kind wedding gown for her best friend, and soon to be a bride, pushes designer Victoria Abernathy to evaluate her life. Maybe a long-term relationship might not be so bad. Then an accidental kiss makes her a believer in chemistry, love, and happily ever after. Only problem—the guy is her best friend's younger brother. Layton Cooper has been crushing on Victoria since he was a young teen. Now he doesn't care what Junction gossipmongers whisper—Victoria is the only woman for him. But his sister Chelsea's objections are far worse than he imagined. Will Victoria and Layton be forever denied a future of love and happiness because of Chelsea's disapproval?

"Love-light of the Heart"

Award-winning pastry chef Holly Everett prefers life to remain steady. The only uncertainty she enjoys is a new cake design. Not a new career. Not a new love. Not a new life in a different town. Too much risk! International photographer Mathew Bonaire sees the best of life through the lens of his camera, sometimes capturing people at their most vulnerable. When he meets Holly, he sees all of her—her creativity, her art, and her heart. He intends to show her how she radiates beauty from the inside out. And he wants love to be just as important as his career. Will a stubborn pastry chef and a starry-eyed photographer finally see love in each other's heart?
