If Christmas was a town, it would be Whiskey Springs, Colorado. Pilot Isabella Fleming avoided Whiskey Springs at all costs. All four of her siblings had contracted marriage fever while visiting the little town and she wanted nothing of it. She avoided it until she could no longer. But even so, she could only hide in her hotel room for so long. Surely she would not be overcome by marriage fever in just one night. Knowledge and forewarning, however, did not equal inoculation. Wesley Bennett found himself wishing for a snowstorm to keep him in Whiskey Springs long enough to avoid Christmas with his family. What he did not expect was for the answer to his wish to come in the form of rescuing a damsel in distress. When that rescue came with a court order that kept him in town, he realized that most answered wishes came attached with a cost. But this price might just be worth it. Isabella's reluctance to accept her fate may come with a cost as well. But that was something the two of them had to figure out. Would the magic of Christmas Eve bring the answer? For a sparkling, snowy world of unexpected Christmas romance, family traditions and togetherness, plus the shimmering magic of love-at-first sight, read An Old Fashioned Christmas!
