Teacher and football coach Beauregard Sterling—Bull—Walters (35) has a crush on his neighbor. His heart doesn't care that she's six years older than him. He fell hard and fast months ago and has a secret plan to finally seize his chance.
Laurel Street (42) has always been a science nerd, not the kind of woman to attract the attention of jocks. When her friend arranges a fix-up for a work-related holiday gathering, fibbing that she already has a date is her only choice. She doesn't expect her hunky neighbor to agree to the ruse.
A little pre-party practice at being a couple sparks some holiday romance, but will his secret ruin their chance at happily-ever-after?
Welcome back to Two Forks Hollow from Snowballed! Features seasoned characters in their late 30s, lots of humor and steam, and happily-ever-after!
