Closed for Christmas

FROM POPULAR ROMANCE AUTHOR ELIZABETH COLDWELL

Book one in the Holiday Falls series

She's going to Holiday Falls to close him down, but will he open her heart?

When Lori Lawrence arrives in the quaint town of Holiday Falls just before Christmas, her task is to assess whether the town' s underperforming bookstore deserves to be kept open. There' s no room for sentiment in the company she works for, yet she finds herself strangely drawn to the bookshop' s manager, the handsome and idiosyncratic Henry Cole. He doesn' t believe in loyalty schemes and hi-tech innovations, but he' s created an inviting space for everyone who loves books and reading.

This should be a straightforward job, but the heaviest snowfall in years leaves Lori stuck in town, and as the days go by and it seems like she' ll never be able to leave, she begins to see Henry' s way of running things with new eyes.

It' s not long before their feelings for one another deepen, but Henry has no idea of Lori' s true intentions. What will happen when he discovers the real reason why she' s in Holiday Falls?
