About the Book



Nat Shepherd has no desire to come home for Christmas. After her beloved mother and brother died when she was a teenager and her grief-stricken father abandoned the family, she left home for college and never looked back. Her sister, McKenna, handled her grief differently. She stayed home to run the Shelter Inn, the family business, married her childhood sweetheart and started a family. So when a pregnant and bedridden McKenna calls, needing Nat to take over at the Shelter Inn, she knows she has no choice but to come running. But she never expected to see Griffin, her first crush and the man who was with her brother when he died on that tragic ski trip--and who's been keeping a secret ever since.



Book Synopsis



"[Thayne] engages the reader's heart and emotions, inspiring hope and the belief that miracles are possible." --Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Come home to Shelter Springs this Christmas, where hearts are warm and hopes are bright...

Growing up at the Shelter Inn hotel, Natalie Shepherd envied guests who could come and go as they pleased. So when it was time to finally leave for college and put the lush green mountains around Shelter Springs--along with the cloud of loss that seemed to follow her family--behind her, she swore she'd never come back. But now her sister McKenna needs a favor. On pregnancy bed rest at doctor's orders, McKenna needs a helping hand with her two young daughters and someone to take over the inn during the hectic holiday season, and Nat can't refuse. And just when things can't get worse, she runs into her late brother's best friend, Griffin Taylor...

Griff has mixed feelings about Natalie's return. She's just as beautiful and full of life as he remembered, but there's a secret he's carried for years about her brother--and the guilt is eating away at him. Still, Christmas in this small town is filled with treasured traditions and new adventures that hold the promise of something sweet and lasting. From matchmaking seniors to rambunctious nieces, it seems everyone is hoping Nat and Griff will put loss behind them and find a happy new beginning...

Don't miss the enchanting holiday tale, THE DECEMBER MARKET by RaeAnne Thayne, a story of second chances, family, and unexpected love, set in the charming town of Shelter Springs, where the spirit of Christmas brings two reluctant hearts together.

"The magic of the Christmas season comes alive in bestseller Thayne's poignant latest holiday romance...Thayne's depiction of the Christmas season is timeless, complete with marshmallows and a Christmas Eve snowstorm, while her characters' emotions feel authentic and often painful. The result is a good balance of light and dark."--Publisher's Weekly
