A Prairie Creek Christmas — Elizabeth Bromke

Can a fake relationship bring strangers together? Or will it take a Christmas miracle for romance to spark?After a crushing personal loss, Erika Lee has one goal: to start fresh in a new town. Prairie Creek is just the place, and Main Street has just the storefront: an old barbershop she can turn into Steel Mutt-nolias, her dream dog grooming business. All she needs now is her first customer.Miles Gentry has one goal this December: to find a date for the annual Snow Ball. He even swings by the new salon for a quick trim. That's when he meets Erika. Utterly distracted by her beauty, it's not until he's through the doors that Miles realizes his mistake: Erika is not a hairdresser, and this is not a barbershop. Maybe if there had been furry clients on the wash stations, he'd have figured it out sooner, but Erika's shop is woefully empty.That's when Miles has a brilliant idea: he could bring Erika's business a ton of attention...if she agrees to leave the shop and be his plus-one for the day. The choice would be easy, if she didn't have to pretend to be his girlfriend, too.Fans of Hickory Grove, Cedar Cove, and sweet romance will fall in love with Prairie Creek in this heartwarming romance set in a small-town full of Christmas spirit. This is a short and sweet story, all set during one snowy Prairie Creek day, making it the perfect quick fireside read for your holiday nights.For further enjoyment, read all of the clean love stories of Prairie Creek:The Country CottageThe Thimble ShoppeA Homestead HolidayChristmas in Prairie Creek
