For a woman burned by love, a Blue Ridge Christmas is more than a getaway-it's a new beginning-in the USA Today bestselling author's romance novella.

Stevie Franklin is thrilled to spend the holiday season helping her best friend Sunny launch her new greenhouse business in Blue Hollow Falls, Virginia. A visit to the quaint mountain town will be a welcome distraction from her recent bad luck with men. But while Sunny's home is under renovation, Stevie must stay at the local inn, whose amenities feature hunky innkeeper, Noah Tyler.

Noah may be tempting, but city-girl Stevie isn't sticking around-and she doesn't do flings. Yet when Noah's chef gets stranded in a Christmas Eve snowstorm, Stevie can't resist pitching in and serving up some of her family's cherished recipes. The magic of Christmas in the Blue Ridge Mountains is already rekindling Stevie's holiday spirit. But can Noah restore her belief in love?
