Sleigh Bells and Second Thoughts

Some proposals should never go viral.

Nora Whitley said no to a jumbotron proposal in front of eighteen thousand hockey fans. By the weekend, twenty million strangers had watched her do it. So she does the only thing left. She drives up the mountain to her mom's house in Silver Hollow, Colorado, to hide out until Christmas.

Then the town's festival chair drafts her as second driver on the horse-drawn sleigh, beside Wes Calder: the quiet man next door with two big draft horses, a barn roof that won't last the winter, and a flip phone. He never once mentions the video. Has Nora finally found the one man in the country who hasn't seen it?

Because the longer Wes stays quiet, the harder Nora falls. And the harder it gets for him to tell her the truth.

A clean, warm small-town Christmas romance about a wreath-stealing horse, a town that closes ranks, and the one mile of trail where nobody is allowed to talk.

Inside you'll find:

• A clean romance with no swearing and no spice, closed-door all the way
• A cozy Colorado mountain town at Christmas, lanterns and all
• Two draft horses with big personalities (pick your side: Team Moose or Team Pearl)
• Faith woven gently into everyday life, never preached
• A grand-gesture story that asks what love really looks like when the whole world is watching

If you love sweet holiday movies, hometown second chances and a slow-burn romance you can share with your mom, settle in with a mug of cocoa and take a ride through Silver Hollow.
