It seems like the perfect solution: hotel mogul Alex Porter will manage his sister's small-town bed-and-breakfast while she honeymoons. But he gets more than he bargained for when he finds himself clashing with feisty café owner Kate Nichols. Suddenly he's organizing church outings and playing surrogate dad to the foster children Kate takes in. Alex is used to taking charge—but not like this! If he isn't careful, this big-city executive just might lose his heart to Mirror Lake's favorite hometown girl.

After ten years away, former "wild child" Zoey Decker returns to Mirror Lake to care for her ill grandmother. It seems no one will let her forget her teenage rebellion—and the tragic consequences. Except Matthew Wilde, the church's handsome new pastor. Matthew sees the kind, caring Christian Zoey has become. But spending time with her could hurt Matthew's reputation in the close-knit community. And her name will never appear on the town matchmakers' list of possible wives for him. But Matthew has his own list, with only one name—Zoey.

Widowed mother Emma Barlow knows her shy, studious son needs a male influence. And where better to find him than in the mentoring ministry at their local church? But when the new chief of police becomes her son's mentor, Emma is worried. As the widow of a fallen officer, she's nervous about letting a lawman into their lives. Especially one as handsome—and conflicted—as Jake Sutton. But when her son comes out of his shell, and even Emma finds herself smiling, she knows that love just might find a home in Mirror Lake…and create a new family.

Dear Uncle Eli,

I don’t think Daddy is getting me what I really want for Christmas — a mommy. He’s been sad since Mommy died, and I want him to be happy again. And ever since Leah, my new nanny, came to stay, he’s been smiling more. She’s really nice. She makes cookies with me and takes me to church. I think Leah is perfect for us. I told him he should marry her, but he’s busy with his carpentering stuff. Maybe he’ll listen to you? Tell him my Christmas wish is to have Leah with us, ALWAYS.

Everyone thinks I’m this high-living playboy….

I wish I could reveal my real mission in life: rescuing missing children. Though right now, helping Miranda Jones is my top priority. She came to Chestnut Grove with her little boy, but a brewing scandal is threatening their little family. So, cousin and mother-to-be, as I’m running the charitable Noble Foundation in your temporary absence, I’ll also be digging up secrets of the past. And while I’m at it, I hope Miranda will say yes to a future together!
