Maria Wylder is used to taking care of herself, the ranch, her five grown boys-and even coordinating what will surely be an awkward family Christmas that will include her ex-husband and his new wife.




What she's not used to is catching the eye of the local mechanic Clint Walker whose gaze lights up every time he sees her. Or the way he listens to her every word and brings her little gifts to brighten her day.




When they both end up visiting the beach town of Indigo Bay to help with a Christmas fundraiser, will it become a chance for them to step outside their tired old roles and discover something new-together?




And what will Maria do when Clint slowly begins to win her heart despite her best intentions not to fall in love again?




This second chance seasoned romance is part of the Indigo Bay Christmas Romance series and can be read as a standalone. It is also a spinoff of Jean's upcoming new series set in Sweetheart Creek, Texas.
