Tuck Anderson, party of one?

That's been my whole life, mate. Seems I'm meant to be single. The failure of my last relationship is what led me to accept a friend's offer to come live in the mountains for a while, and Kings Grove is exactly the kind of simple solitude a guy like me needs.

Except it's pretty lonely.

And there is that hot veterinarian, Annie Gish. But I've learned too many times already that I am not the guy who wins at love. So when she offers to help train my crazy dogs in exchange for some help putting the winter festival together, I accept her offer against my better judgment.

I tell myself we're going to keep it friendly. That I'm not getting involved.

But when Dr. Gish's life turns out to be far more complicated than I imagined, I realize I'm already involved. And I'd do just about anything to see her smile again in the light of that big Kings Grove Christmas tree.

And I know she wants me too. But sometimes, life gets in the way of what we want.

Christmas in Kings Grove is a novella full of your favorite Kings Grove characters, plenty of holiday fun, and a hard-earned happy ever after.
