April’s Christmas by Hazel Ann Williams
This classic sweet romance about a modern country girl who loves family and a big-city boy who wants none is perfect for any season.
April McGuire grew up in a loving family in rural Kentucky. Now she lives in the big city of Columbus, Ohio, and loves volunteering in a shelter for homeless families.
Sparks fly when April meets Harlan Kennedy, a salesman from Los Angeles. But a simple country girl who loves family doesn’t understand a fancy city guy who wants none, and vice-versa.
A snowy carriage ride and a glittering holiday ball add to the romance. But when the shelter needs help to save the holiday for its families, different priorities threaten to push April and Harlan apart forever. The two will need a minor holiday miracle to finally bring them together at April’s Christmas.
NOTE: Sweet. No graphic scenes. Avalon Books first published this book in 1994. The author and a new cover have given it a re-edit, but it is the same story as the original novel.
