Have yourself a merry little Christmas love story!

Emma is certain of two things: her boyfriend, Gabe, is planning to propose on Christmas Eve, and the expensive ring he's bought for her is a sacrifice for a pastor-intern's modest budget. She knows she's lucky to have him -- handsome, intelligent, gentle, and dependable. What more could she possibly want?

Enter Ethan, a keen-eyed, fun-loving charmer who couldn't be more different from his older brother. With his impulsive generosity and magnetic personality, Ethan has a way of making Emma question everything she thought she knew. As his visit stretches on, doubts swirl in her heart like crumbs in a blender, growing harder to ignore.

Emma knows she must stay true to Gabe -- especially when she remembers the heartbreak he suffered on a past Christmas Eve. But with Ethan around, she's beginning to wonder if she's made the right choice. Can she stay loyal to the man who is ready to propose, or is true love worth the risk though it jeopardizes everything she thought she ever wanted?

REVIEW:
5 stars
"What a wonderful tale. This was such a fantastic story. Everything about this story was wonderful. Making such a difficult choice, yet the answer is obvious when you ask God for guidance. I have read this author's book for the first time, and I can't wait to read more from her. Outstanding work, Linore Rose Burkard.

5 stars "A Sweet Encouragement"
"I adored this story! I think my favorite part is how well I felt like I knew & cared about the characters, almost from the first chapter. The author does such a good job describing them and invites us into their world in such a nice way. The descriptions of how the characters live and lean into faith is inspiring and encouraging. This is a great choice for a read if you need a lift! I'm excited that this is part of a series, and I look forward to reading more from this author."
