Northern Hearts (Heroes of the Tundra)

By Laurie Wood

Description:

Wealthy socialite Kali McIntyre dreams of opening her own dessert bar, Sassy Sweets, in downtown Winnipeg—until her father crushes that dream when he cuts her off financially. He’s determined to get her to use her law degree to join the family’s high-powered law firm. She’s determined to do anything but that. And when an unknown-to-her aunt dies in Churchill, Manitoba, leaving her an unbelievable inheritance, Kali’s on the next flight up north to make her dreams a reality.
Chef Jake Miller has lived in Churchill for the past ten years, working hard to keep The Great Northern Lodge afloat through some tough times. But then his business partner dies unexpectedly, without telling him that she’d changed her will or that she had a niece who is set to inherit everything. Now, Jake and Kali have thirty days to work together and decide–who will stay and who will go–before Christmas rolls around. Secrets, attempted murder, and a new menu all add up to a Christmas unlike any other.

Book Takeaway:

God knows what's best for us better than we know ourselves, and His plans for us don't always mesh with what we think is the best for us! But His plans are always better.

Why the author wrote this book:

This is a Christmas novella with a Hallmark-mystery type romance set in Canada's Churchill, Manitoba, on the doorstep of the arctic. I wrote it to fill in the Christmas time I skipped over in my first series book, Northern Deception.
