Carolina Christmas

Meg Bryson isn't exactly proud of how she's spent the last year and a half of her life- or the two-inch scar across her chin. So when she's commissioned to paint a mural for a retirement home, she jumps at the chance to get away for a while. There's just one problem; she has to face her sister and the pain of her past.

When the reunion with her sister goes much differently than she imagined, she quickly settles into a new routine. Surrounded by a slew of new friends, including an exceptionally skittish dog who eventually chooses her as his new owner, she's forced to deal with an arrogant, unfriendly veterinarian. But if she's learned anything from her past, she knows that appearances can be deceiving. And the more time she spends with Heath Campbell, the more she realizes her initial impression of him was wrong.

On a very special Christmas night, she learns that the gift of God's mercy and grace was meant for her, scars and all.
