Tidings for Nick — Peggy L. Henderson

 Clara Garland feels confined by the predictability of her small Montana community. After returning from a visit to her relatives in the East, she finds her best friend getting married, and wonders if she'll ever find the kind of magical love of her own. With Christmas approaching, her heart yearns for something more, but a sense of obligation keeps her from stepping outside her quiet life. Nick Boughman, a talented surgical resident, is struggling with the emotional toll of his demanding career. After losing a patient, he's left questioning his purpose, and feels disillusioned by the pressures of his profession. Seeking peace and solace, he escapes to the remote mountains of Montana, hoping some solitude during the holidays will recharge his focus. As Clara and Nick's paths intertwine in a world filled with holiday magic, they discover a deep connection that transcends time itself. With Christmas just a few days away, they must decide whether to embrace the love they've found, or let it slip away. Will they believe in the impossible and forge a future together, or will they allow time to keep them apart?
