When I agreed to go to the big city to discuss the delivery of our Christmas trees for the holiday season, I expected traffic, the horizon blocked by the skyline, and unbearable noise. I did not expect to see Rose O'Brien, the woman who broke my heart seven years ago, let alone have to work with her now. Same pretty pink smile, same contagious laugh, same piercing green-flecked hazel eyes that I've loved. Still love. Rose is determined that the city life is all she wants. How can this small-town lumberjack compete with the big city? Spruced Up for Big City is a small-town, second-chance, opposites attract, standalone novella romance. It's the fourth book in the Timberheart Grove series.

A beautifully written and evocative memoir of pain and redemption, of hurt and healing, from an actress whose private life and personal choices have made her a household name. "My life is a life movies are made of," wrote Anne Heche in the proposal for her memoir.
