Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Home for Christmas (#8)
Trinity Falls Sweet Romance is all about finding family – one clean & wholesome romance at a time. The Trinity Falls Sweet Romance: Home for Christmas inspirational series celebrates a group of men coming home to a small Pennsylvania town at Christmastime, and finding love and meaning in the season.
Dalton Tyler made a pact with his best friend—to keep the family farm in Pennsylvania going if Andy didn’t make it home himself.
So when the unthinkable actually happens, the first thing Dalton does when he finishes his own military service is head straight to small town Trinity Falls during the holidays to fulfill his promise.
As the hours he spends outside working the land begin to soothe his troubled heart, he quickly finds that he feels right at home with Andy’s parents and friends.
But Andy’s little sister Ella is another story.
After losing her husband, the young widow and her daughter are back home living with her parents. And as they work together on the farm, Dalton immediately feels drawn to the young woman who bears the losses of her husband and her brother so bravely.
Teasing a smile out of Ella’s sweetly shy daughter, Dove, has become the lonely veteran’s favorite pastime. And he finds himself living for the moments when Ella stops her endless chores to share a quiet chat with him.
But Ella’s heart seems to be locked away from the world. And after her brother’s sacrifice and her double loss, would it even be right for Dalton to search for the key?
When a Christmas snowstorm descends on the tiny village of Trinity Falls, Dalton and Ella may be forced to face the feelings they’ve been trying to deny. And maybe Dove’s secret wish will come true…
