Her lost love is back in town. Is he back for a second chance…or closure?

Holiday love and romance are in the air—but Shanice Williams will be spending the second most popular date night of the year alone, agonizing over selling the quirky old farmhouse she inherited from her beloved grandmother. 

The money would help save her struggling landscaping business, but emotionally, she can’t bear to part with a place so filled with memories—especially of Lincoln Reid, her mad teenage crush. 

Then she accidentally overhears his heartbreakingly familiar voice, and she realizes Lincoln still makes her heart race. But from what she heard, he’s only back in Roses, NC, to buy Granny’s land—for an apartment complex.

Lincoln Reid remembers the first time he kissed Shay on Granny Williams’ settee. But his high-falutin’ family had expectations for him. He’s grown the toy business into the most popular in the country, and now he's back for a chance to reclaim the house—and the woman—that holds a special place in his heart.

But it'll take some doing to convince the fiercely independent Shay that he’s back in Roses to stay. And this time, he’s not planning to let her go.

This book is a sweet and clean small-town contemporary holiday romance, and will remind you of your best-loved Hallmark stories, where a happily ever after is guaranteed. An interracial sweet romance.
