Award-winning author, Amy Schisler, takes us home for Christmas to Buffalo Springs where every season is a time for love… and danger.

 

The little white house on Main Street in Buffalo Springs, Arkansas, is the only home Jackson Nelson has ever known. With college behind him and both his sisters back in town to look after their aging parents, Jackson knows now is the time to make his big move. All he's ever wanted is to move to New York and lead the high-stakes life of a real estate investor. He's determined to leave town right after Christmas and never look back.

 

Cindy Kline has never had a real home or a real Christmas. Abandoned by her father and raised by an unfit mother, Cindy thought she had finally found the family she always wanted when the man of her dreams asked her to marry him; but when his Navy SEAL helicopter went down in a fiery crash before their wedding, Cindy had nothing left to keep her in sunny California. Packing her meager belongings into her old, beat-up car, Cindy drives straight to Buffalo Springs and to the only real friend she's ever had - Andi Nelson. With Christmas around the corner, Andi, Jackson, and the whole Nelson family convince Cindy to stay through the holidays.

 

Just when Cindy is beginning to get into the Christmas spirit, her life is once again up-ended - this time by a series of break-ins and the news that her dangerous father may be lurking nearby. Cindy has no idea that her father's mysterious past will put her life in jeopardy, and Jackson has no idea that the bright lights of New York are but a flickering flame when it comes to the sparks of the heart.

 

Desert Fire, Mountain Rain is "A riveting novel with great characters, well-thought-out backstories, a budding romance, small town secrets, and deception." – Writer's Digest
