When Australian Taylor Quinn travels to the Canadian Rockies, he least
expects his holiday to be challenged by a snowboarding accident. The injury
prevents further winter sports, but the hospital stay nurtures an optimistic
connection: A nurse, with a finger on his pulse, supports his recovery and
takes a chance on what could become a promising friendship.

Working on a trauma unit, Sarah Evans desires more than another critical
care patient. When she meets Taylor, there’s something about him that
appeals to her relationship goals. Maybe it’s the kindness in his eyes
or his jovial warmhearted personality, but an ethical dilemma ensues when
her care extends beyond the hospital setting. This heartfelt risk could lead
to happiness, to the love she’s been searching for, maybe even a home
far away from family, friends, and her native country.

What will a snowboarder and a nurse do when circumstances beyond their
control end the holiday, potentially injuring their newfound romance? Will
Taylor return to Australia? Will Sarah risk everything for the love
she’s found?

A Gentleman for Christmas Blitz

Holiday Romance, Christmas Romance

Published: November 2021

Publisher: SPK Publishing

Stir-it-up-Sunday only happens once a year, but a grandmother’s Christmas pudding doesn’t tempt Cecily’s appetite half as much as an appealing neighbor. Her deepest secret is safe until she whispers sugar plum nothings in her sleep, and awkwardly, someone overhears. A relationship doesn’t seem possible, but when it becomes apparent that their feelings are mutual, it’s not only class and social status hindering a relationship, but also one stubborn English father.

Logan Campbell, a skilled yet lowly veterinary surgeon, has a talent as an animal whisperer. Popular with the farmers and one English lady, his sentiments can’t administer common sense to the parental obstacle standing in his way. He’s willing to risk it all to secure his heart’s desire, even if it means singing in the church choir. But when a racehorse becomes seriously ill, the ensuing challenge tests his patience and skill. He’ll have to pull out all the stops to secure their future.

Does a veterinary surgeon have the practical knowledge to prevent a tragedy? Will a father accept his daughter’s heartfelt wishes? A Christmas carol and a little lady luck could make this season brighter.
