Pawsitively in Love Again at Christmas

He's not staying any longer than he has to. She knows better than to fall in love with him a second time. But fate might have other ideas. When veterinarian Noah Taggert left his hometown, he always intended to come back. Helping out at his uncle's horse ranch was supposed to be a temporary arrangement. Discovering the woman he loved had broken his heart made it permanent. If it wasn't for his uncle's dying wish, he wouldn't be in Snowy Falls at all. Too bad no one told Noah his family was gone, forcing him to extend his stay until they return. To top it off, Everly—the one woman he's determined to avoid—is Grandma Annie's live-in tenant. Elementary school librarian Everly Jensen has a job she loves, a dog she adores, and the best landlord who lets her work in exchange for rent while she saves to buy a house. Helping Annie prep for the Taggert family Christmas over her holiday break should be a piece a cake. Until Noah walks back into her life. She's never gotten over her best friend's brother, even though Noah broke his promise to return home and never told her why. Now they're stuck together in the same house until the rest of the Taggert clan returns home, at the mercy of Grandma Annie's to-do list. The more time they spend together, the more the walls they've put up start to crumble. But Noah can't stay in Snowy Falls. Everly knows better than to fall in love with him a second time, but will that be enough to stop her? *This is a sweet small town contemporary holiday romance with an HEA. Heat Level: Sweet/Mild*
