He'd given up hope of finding love. She'd never dared to hope again.

When her old college friend invites her to host craft workshops and run social media for her new inn in Montana, Wendy Clarke drops everything to go. Or maybe it's to lick her wounds after her cheating husband divorced her, and the six kids Wendy has poured her life into seem to have chosen their dad's side. But when her childhood friend's brother, who used to be their little shadow, shows up at Maranatha Inn, Wendy discovers she still longs to be loved. Not that anyone could love an overweight castoff.

Roman Scala has fond memories of tagging along behind his sister and her friend but with nine years between them, he was never their peer. Now in his mid-40s, he's sold his share of his dad's import business and is ready for a new adventure in Montana. Roman launches a YouTube travel channel with Wendy's reluctant help. He can see past her facade, but can he show her how much she's really worth?

He'd given up hope of finding love. She'd never dared to hope again. But maybe hope finds them this advent season.
