He traveled 3,800 miles to be alone
…but is it what he really wants?
Relocating to Alaska after a family tragedy seemed an ideal way for author R.D. “Mac” Macleod to grieve in peace. But solitude feels overrated when Mac’s around B&B owner Ursula Anderson and her orphaned goddaughter, Rory, who’s already bonding with his dog. Worse, he’s imagining a future with Ursula and Rory. Is it time to finally forgive himself?

It’s the season for giving…and starting over?
A reindeer farm without Santa wouldn’t be Christmas in Marissa Gray’s Alaskan hometown. Luckily Chris Allen’s there to pinch-hit, although for Marissa, seeing her ex-fiancé again brings back memories of what might have been.
Ten years after their breakup, the feelings between the wildlife biologist and blue-eyed fisherman are stronger than ever. Only now there’s a foster kid in the mix, as well as the shocking crime that cost Marissa her job and her family’s security. She and Chris need to find their way to a meeting of minds and hearts to make this truly a season for second chances…

“That’s not going to happen.” Mac laid his hand over Ursula’s. “We won’t let it happen. That’s what you need to tell Rory. That these people want to meet, but she doesn’t need to worry. We’ll take care of everything.”
“We?”
“Okay, you. Officially, you’re the only one who can make that promise. But I intend to help in every way I can.”
“Why?” Ursula felt hot tears gathering. She blinked them back. “You have enough on your plate. Why are you throwing yourself into the middle of this mess?”
“Because I care.” He squeezed her hand. “I can’t seem to help it. When I came here, I was completely wrapped up in my own pain. I couldn’t see anyone else, and I wanted it that way. But you and Rory somehow slipped past the walls I’d built and became a part of my life. And I’m not going to let anything bad happen to that little girl, if I can help it.”
“Thank you, Mac.” Now the tears had escaped and were rolling down her face. “That means a lot to me.”
“You and Rory mean a lot to me.” He picked up his linen napkin and dabbed at her cheeks.
Harmony glided back into the room. “Ah, catharsis. Excellent.” She placed a milky crystal on the table and left as silently as she’d come in.
Mac looked after her, the corners of his mouth twitching. He looked so out of place, an Oklahoma cowboy perched on a spindly chair surrounded by crystals and teacups. Ursula felt a giggle rising. She tried to control it, but it came out as a snort. Mac chuckled, and before she knew what was happening, Ursula was laughing. It may have been partly hysterical, but it felt good. Mac was laughing, too, a deep belly laugh.
The tears continued. She wasn’t even sure if they were crying or laughing tears anymore, but she took the napkin from Mac and wiped her cheeks as she caught her breath. “Oh, my.”
Mac chuckled. “Feel better?”
“I do.”
“Maybe there is something to this crystal business.” He picked up the shiny rock from the table, examined it and set it down. “Finish your tea.”
“Actually, I’ve had all I want. Now I’m eager to get home and make that phone call to the lawyer in Anchorage.”
He drained his cup. “How do I get the check?”
“Oh, Shelly doesn’t bring a check. You just leave whatever you feel is the right amount.”
He raised an eyebrow. “Interesting business model. How long has she been running this establishment?”
“Three or four years now. She inherited the house and a nice nest egg from her grandfather. She considers the teahouse more of a public service than a business.”
“That explains so much.” Mac dropped some bills on the table and held her chair for her. “Everything’s going to be okay, you know.”
“I know.” And somehow, looking up at his face, she believed it.
