“Fox knows how to strike just enough sway between sweet and bitter, homespun and steamy.” --Publishers Weekly
It’s Christmas in the cozy Western town of Caribou Crossing, the season for homecoming, forgiveness, and—just maybe—the gift of a fresh start…
As the holidays approach, the air is filled with the festive sounds of bells chiming and carolers singing. Maribeth Scott loves Christmas, but she’s pretty sure that after years of waiting, Santa isn’t finally going to gift her with Mr. Right. In fact, the only thing she truly wants for Christmas is a baby to love. At thirty-nine, she’s determined to become a mother and she will make it happen, even if she has to do it on her own.
When Mo Kincaid returns to the rustic town after almost twenty years away, he’s seeking redemption from his checkered past. The last thing on his mind is romance, and he’s certain he doesn’t deserve it. But now there’s irresistible Maribeth, showing him the true spirit of Christmas and winning his heart. For the first time in Mo’s life, the future looks bright. Only one thing stands between them: Maribeth’s deep desire for a child and Mo’s conviction that he’s too flawed to be a father. Is his world-weary heart ready to take the ultimate leap of faith?
“Heartfelt, modern storytelling…will melt readers’ hearts.” —RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars on Love Somebody Like You

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The good news is that Fox has gifted her readers with another Christmas installment in her popular Caribou Crossing contemporary series. The bad news is that the series ends with this volume, adding extra poignancy to this romantic tale of love and second chances. Fox imparts a visceral feel to moment when Mo Kincaid asks the bus driver to let him off outside of town. The man left Caribou Crossing on foot nearly 20 years ago and is determined to return likewise. November's chilly Canadian winds suit him just fine, as he's not expecting a warm welcome. To his surprise, he meets a dog and a woman who are willing to give him a chance, though he thinks it's only because they have no idea what a jerk he was in the past. Maribeth Scott, a 39-year-old who's been shopping online for sperm donors, and Caruso, a homeless dog, both take Mo at face value and grease the wheels of the redemption he seeks from the ex-wife and son he failed so spectacularly. Fox knows just how to spin a sweet (and slightly spicy) romance with plenty of heartstring tugging and Christmas cheer.
