Chicago Hope Chicago Hope

Publisher Description

Aspiring journalist Maura Hall dreams of changing the world, but for now, she'll settle for Chicago.

Uprooting her life and eight-year-old son from the quiet Sandhills of North Carolina, Maura plants new roots in bustling Chicago, Illinois, in hopes of building a better future. But after three years of struggling to publish even a single hope-filled article, her dreams are on the verge of collapsing—much like the crumbling tenement she calls home. Forced to juggle two jobs to make ends meet, Maura finds herself editing typos for plagiarizing co-workers instead of crafting stories of change.

Enter Rick Figueroa—handsome, smart, and supportive of Maura's vision for their media company. With his help, they launch a "Dear Santa" project, designed to restore hope and Christmas cheer to thousands of children. As Maura's attraction to Rick deepens, so do her suspicions about his identity and intentions.

Maura must decide between love, her career, and doing what's right—all before Christmas!

Chicago Hope

Of the 114 books I’ve read so far this year, Chicago Hope, is my absolute favorite! It is well written, to the point, tender, honest, funny and definitely heart warming. Thank you for avoiding street language, for using well thought out sentence structure. Thank you for composing a well thought out story with a happy ending. I am a new fan of your work, Caremen.
