Blue skies and moonlit sea, seashells and sunkissed beaches! This spot on the Baja coast is everything widow Carolyn McAndrews hoped for on her Christmas vacation from snow and cold back in Colorado. No eligible men or romance, her friend had warned, but that was fine with Carolyn. But what she hadn't counted on is a refrigerator that doesn't work, undrinkable water and a shower faucet that breaks off in her hand. There's supposed to be a generator to make electricity, but Carolyn can't even identify it, much less make any electricity with it. She can't even turn around and head home; her van is stuck in the sand. Enter Ward Setlow, a good-looking guy with crisp silver hair, an easy grin, and a fix-it ability to take care of all her problems. A guy who quickly disproves her friend's statement about a lack of romance here. Ward also has an admirable plan to use his fix-it talents to serve the Lord in the coming years, but no matter how deep and unexpectedly powerful the attraction between them is, Carolyn has secrets that mean this can never be more than a brief Christmas romance. Most of Lorena McCourtney's readers know her as a mystery author, but this novella proves she writes great romance too.
