The Bell Ringer's Christmas — Kristy K. James

An accident killed his dreams, she had to walk away from hers – together, can they forge a new one? After Tara Nelson's parents died, her grandmother hadn't hesitated to open her home – and her arms – to finish raising a heartbroken little girl. So, when a stroke left her confined to a wheelchair, Tara didn't have to think twice about putting her plans on hold to take care of her. It was a hard, often lonely life, and sometimes, she longed for someone special to share the burdens. Especially after falling into the arms of a strong, handsome bell ringer. His emotional wounds cut so deep, Shane Cavenaugh didn't think they'd ever heal. So the last thing he needed was a complication in his carefully planned, solitary life. But thanks to an icy parking lot on a cold November night, a complication is exactly what he got. Now, he can't get a kind-hearted cashier out of his mind. And he's not sure he wants to either. Can the wonder of the Christmas season light the way to a future filled with hope, happiness, and love for two lonely people? Welcome to Weko Harbor, a place where the friends you made when you were a kid are friends for a lifetime. And sometimes, they might be more than just a friend.
