(Please note that this is the sweet version of His Christmas Bride)
Rev. George Pickering thought he had put his past as a rich and debauched young man behind him, choosing to serve God and the people of Haskell, Wyoming instead of himself. He’s ready to let go of the memory of the girl who left him at the altar ten years ago, and to marry a mail-order bride. But the woman who steps off the train to be his wife turns out to be the same woman who left him heartbroken all those years ago…
Holly Hannigan only journeyed to Haskell so that she could apologize at last for breaking George’s heart and leaving him. The last thing she expects is for George to want to go through with their union. Ten years after running out of the church, convinced she couldn’t marry a man who she loved but who didn’t love her, she ends up becoming his wife…
But there is a world of difference between saying “I do” and learning how to forgive the mistakes of the past. Matters are complicated when a new minister in town threatens to take George’s congregation away from him, right before Christmas. It will take a Christmas miracle to bring two damaged souls together in time to fight an even greater evil…
