When her parents reveal that they’re renewing their vows in the laving wedding they’ve always wanted, Reggie’s mom asks her to be a bridesmaid, and Reggie certainly can’t say no. She believes the town would be gossiping about her relationship with Jake, but then she runs into her first love, Toby, who also broke her heart many years ago, living in town, and raising his son. She never thought things between them would ever resurface, but Reggie is in for many pleasant surprises this Christmas.
Dena Sommerville has only ever wanted one thing: to have a child. But motherhood has been alluding her because she never met the right man…until she took the bull by the horns and decided to have a baby as a single mom. She knew it would be difficult and the morning sickness alone is knocking her down for the count, but she’s determined to do this on her own. So when a handsome musician checks into the inn where she works, Dena is surprised when a friendship develops. He has his own issues to work through—that much is clear. But she can’t deny there’s something between them.
This Christmas, guilted into being bridesmaids at their parents’ vow renewal ceremony, Reggie and Dena Sommerville just might find the most unexpected gift of all—love.
