Dear Reader,
This book is a novella (shorter than other books), and it must be read after the preceding Countdown books. It completes the story of Hunter Parrish, who first appeared in Book 1 — Countdown to Christmas.
There are times in life when we must accept that there will be no closure. Fortunately, this is not one of those times...
When we last saw Hunter, he was behaving in a way unbecoming of a leading man. He'd hurt two of our favorite characters, ran off to Scotland with his tail between his legs, and basically ghosted everyone — including his mom and business partner. So the question became: should he be redeemed? You'll have to read to find out ??
I wrote this as a novella because not all stories need to be long. It still contains the same amount of heart, humor, and healing found in the rest of the series, and in my completely unbiased opinion, I believe you will love it!
So grab a turkey leg, a piece of pumpkin pie, and a mug of hot chocolate and dig into Countdown to Thanksgiving — after you've read the others, of course!
Happy Reading!
