She came to Montana to say goodbye. She didn't expect to find a reason to stay.

When marketing executive Mara Scott's car breaks down on a snowy Montana road, she has one goal: scatter her grandmother's ashes and get back to Seattle. The last thing she needs is to be stranded at Hope Springs Ranch for a week, especially during their chaotic Christmas festival preparation.

He thought he'd never risk his heart again. Then she walked into his life.

Ethan Sterling, the ranch foreman, has spent three years keeping his heart locked away after losing his best friend. He doesn't have time for complicated—and the beautiful, hurting city woman stuck on his ranch is definitely complicated.

But as Mara helps with festival preparations and Ethan teaches her to ride, something unexpected happens. She starts to breathe again. He starts to hope again. And the week that was supposed to be an inconvenience becomes the chance neither of them knew they needed.

With only seven days before Mara returns to her old life, can a grief-stricken cowboy and a workaholic executive trust that God brought them together for a reason? Or will fear keep them from the Christmas miracle waiting at Hope Springs?

A sweet, faith-filled romance about letting go of the past and daring to hope again.

This book is Book 1 in the It Started at Christmas series. Each book is a complete standalone romance, but characters appear throughout the series during the same magical holiday season at Hope Springs Ranch.
