Cora loves her work as a financial analyst. She breezes into a town, crunches numbers, and makes the burger and fries chain restaurants pop up. She leaves town and moves to the next.
Her current location, Starville, Kentucky, happens to be her childhood hometown. It'll be a nice visit until she is shuttled on to her next work location.
Walking up to the local and very charming Inn, Cora pauses after entering and feels the warmth and cheer of Christmas in every nook of the establishment. It's like walking into the past. Everything is warm and glowing with a tasty smell wafting in circles.
That means a burger and fries place is needed. It will work well in a town with so many friendly faces needing a quick dinner instead of always waiting for a table at the one busy Inn.
Levi owns, cooks, serves, and hosts the Inn. He loves his town and loves his Inn.
When he learns that Cora wants to okay the finances for building the franchise, he's devastated and his friendly demeanor toward her diminishes.
Cora has one issue developing. Her quaint childhood hometown is so perfect already. Yet, she wants to be successful in placing the fast-food restaurant. Oh, yeah, and Levi does have a wonderful charm that she is reticent to destroy.
With this in mind, Cora agrees to help the town with a Christmas charity.
The snow, warm lights, decorations, smiling faces on children, and nostalgia soften Cora's one-tract business mind. Levi allows his heart to grow toward the lovely lady invading his town, hoping for a truce in romance and business.
The romance and business are intertwined, so can they budget for both?
'Tis the season for peace and love!
Happy reading,
Dawn
