About this ebook

After hiding for years, it’s time for Paisley to go home. . .for the holidays.

Paisley finds joy in simple things: making lists, finding the perfect Christmas tree, snow falling around the holidays. She doesn't have an ambitious bone in her body, but her friends don't mind. She cheers them on when they're up and supports them when they're down.

Everyone loves Paisley, and for good reason. She's always there when you need her.

But Paisley has a secret, and none of her friends in Georgia know anything about it.

When that secret calls her home to Europe, she must face all the things she has ignored. When she finds out that her family, which has always run an amazing Christmas program for the people of her country, is about to lose everything, she resolves to help any way she can. But their family debt is large, and to her great dismay, the debtor is someone her friends dislike immensely. . . shrewd business mogul James Fulton.

Can Paisley confront the demons she left behind and repair the damage from her departure? And can she do it in time to save Christmas?

Publisher's Weekly said, "This is a story of growth and transformation. The plot is quite unusual. . .and the author puts a fun and fresh twist on the [princess as a commoner] trope."

Paisley is surrounded by happiness. All of her friends are falling in love. She’s delighted but a little lonely…while she loves her little apartment with its mismatched furniture, it would be nice to have someone with her. To her surprise, she finds herself drawn to James Fulton, a wealthy but ruthless man her friends warn her against. They talk and begin to open up to each other. But when James never calls her back, Paisley assumes it’s a dead end. Until he shows up in the one place she never expected to see him: her parent’s home, far from her Atlanta life, where all her secrets are buried. She and James must decide whether they can trust each other with their secrets, their hearts, and their futures. To be honest, after reading the first four books, neither Paisley nor James was my favorite character. She seemed flighty and illogical; he seemed to enjoy causing pain. And yet this turned out to be one of my favorite books in the series. What I learn in every Bridget Baker book I read is that there is ALWAYS a reason for the way people act. Past hurts play out in a variety of ways, and healing is possible and beautiful. It’s clear through reading this that love is more than just emotions. For marriage to work, two people have to be able not just to enjoy being together, but to trust and respect each other. Paisley wrestles with the understanding that she can’t be with a man just because she’s attracted to him…she needs depth and substance, and she has to be able to trust in his integrity. Both sides will have to sacrifice, giving to each other and being vulnerable to each other. And they’ll need to learn to love the little details, delighting in the everyday as they build their relationship. But just maybe, they’ll find themselves stronger and more completely themselves when they face life together.

I went into this book thinking I was going to really dislike James. He wasn't very nice in the book he was introduced in, but I should have known that Bridget Baker would be able to win me over to his side. I ended up loving James! People can change, and not everything was exactly the way it seemed with him. I was so happy to see Paisley finally find someone who was perfect for her. I've loved her in every one of the books. They made such a cute couple. I swear I could just picture this being a Hallmark channel movie. This ended up being my second favorite book in the series, right behind Finding Liberty.

Fun, silly, innocent Paisley has a past that is NOTHING like her current life. It was a surprise to get introduced to this side of her, and a surprise to see that the evil jerk in the past of some of the men I have grown to love throughout the Finding series actually has a heart. This romance spans the ocean, both in commercial flights and private jets. Strong love and great loss for both main characters. I feel the pain that has shaped who they each have become and understand how a princess could become plain ole Pais. This is a perfect read around the holidays! (If you remember way back at the start of the series, Paisley loves helping with Sub-for-Santa and we get to find out a bit more behind her enthusiasm for Mary’s project!). Hallmark sweetness to the max!

About the author

Bridget won her first writing contest in first grade with a story about a day in the life of a little spot of air. (Who says you need a good hook?)

She hasn't stopped writing (or talking) since then, although she was briefly derailed by her pursuit of a legal career. Ultimately, boring words, well, bored her. She quit her job to spend less time counting gobs of ill gotten gains, and more time writing stories.

She loves her husband and all five of her kids (most days). She has a yappy dog and a bouncy dog, three goofy horses, a demanding cat, two lion's head rabbits, and more chickens than she cares to admit. (Chicken math is REAL!) Every day is a battle between playing with kids, riding her horse Leo, and writing. If her publication speed has slowed down, you can blame the kids and the horse.

She makes cookies all the time, and thinks they should have their own food group. In a possibly misguided attempt at balancing the scales between overconsumption and exertion, she kickboxes every day. So if you don't like her kids, her cookies, or her books, maybe don't tell her in person.
