Cozy Little Christmas by RaeAnne Thayne

Fans of Laurie Gilmore and Rachel Hanna will love New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne's joyful and poignant new Christmas romance about a woman who's done with love...until her ex, a wounded K9 law enforcement officer, comes back to town and makes her believe that first love deserves a second chance. 

Music therapist Hannah Goodwin is done with love. So what if it’s Christmas? She has her twin sister, niece, friends and students and that’s it for her…so imagine her surprise when she runs into Wes Sterling at the Shelter Inn. Hannah hasn’t seen Wes since she was 22, hopelessly in love with him, and completely cast aside when Wes abruptly left town—and her—behind. And this may be a little Bah Humbug, but she’d be happy to never see him again…

Moving back to Shelter Springs is the last thing K9 law enforcement officer Wes Sterling ever wanted. It’s the place he fell in love with Hannah and the place where an accident changed his mother’s life forever. But when his sister needs his help to clear out a family home, he can’t say no. It’s the perfect opportunity for both himself and his beloved K9 Kodiak to recover, surrounded by family and love, all at the holidays. Still seeing Hannah again fills him with regret—and hope. 

He never wanted to hurt Hannah but, even now, after all of these years, she still represents all of the joy and light he pushed out of his life. Everything he’s desperate to get back. And when two of Hannah’s students are in desperate need of an immediate foster family and she volunteers, he vows to do everything he can to help her. And now he’ll do whatever it takes to show her that this Christmas, all he wants is her.
