SKU: 1309256 Cross Country Christmas

Laurie Lewis

Description

When CC Cippolini is offered a temp job driving a custom car across the country, she leaps at the chance to leave Chicago, put her past in the rearview mirror, and make a fresh start. But one car crash and broken cattle fence later, CC ends up at the home of ruggedly handsome rancher Reese Brockbank. Reese doesn't hesitate to rescue the reckless woman who has crashed into his life, but when circumstances require him to put CC up in his house for a few days, he vows to remain aloof-a woman already derailed his life once.
As CC's warmth and childlike love of Christmas turn his beautiful but sterile house into a home, however, she wears down his defenses. Still, something in her story doesn't quite add up, and Reese's questions soon cause CC to retreat.
The pain of their pasts has brought them to this moment, but will they seize it or put the possibility of love in jeopardy?

About the Author

Laurie Lewis is a weather-whining wife, mother, and grandma. She's also crazy about crabs, nesting boxes, twinkle lights, sappy movies, and the sea. It's documented that she's craft-challenged and particularly lethal with a glue gun, so she set her creative juices to writing, which was less likely to burn her fingers. Born in Baltimore, Laurie will always be a Marylander at heart, but a recent move to a house overlooking Utah Lake makes Utah her new love. Her Maryland years, spent within the exciting and history-rich corridor between Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C., made her a history nerd and a political junkie. During Laurie's years as a science-education facilitator, she honed her research skills, eventually turning to writing full time. She writes in multiple genres, penning her women's fiction and romance novels as Laurie Lewis and her historical fiction novels as L. C. Lewis. She's a RONE Award winner and was twice named a New Apple Literary Award winner in 2017. In 2018 she won Best New Fiction. She is a BRAG Medallion honoree, and she was twice named a Whitney Award and USA Best Book Award finalist.
