It's not the typical Christmas plan...

Ally Jones made a death bed promise to her friend who'd given her a home and shelter since she was a teen. When the older woman finally succumbed to cancer, Ally would take her ashes and spread them on a special spot in Destiny River, Texas. Still grieving, she and her canine companion leave New York City, weeks before Christmas, never anticipating that the town she'd heard so much about for many years could sprinkle seasonal magic that would change her life. And then in a heartbeat and squeal of worn brakes, Ally's life spins in a new direction.

Widower Sheriff Matthew Parker and his daughter, Jillie, are fine, despite the conviction of his small town's female population that he must be in search of a wife. He's not. His sister jokes that he should hire a fake fiancé for Christmas. Not funny. Then he witnesses a horrific car accident, and when he pulls the victim free and gazes into her stunning eyes, he sees an unexpected future.

Destiny? Impossible. How can fate unfurl happy-ever-afters for two non-believers?
