ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: The Last Cottage on Pinewood Lane She’s his Christmas miracle. Now all he has to do is convince her of that…
Figure skater Tasha Ramson used to love the holidays. But with her career on the skids, she needs a break from the festive season—and Berry Lake is the perfect place to take it. Organizing a Christmas fundraiser was not on her agenda. Neither was falling for the small town’s handsome lawyer. But…she did…PURCHASE LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon
EXCERPT
“I haven’t skated since I was a teenager.”
“What’s stopping you now?” she asked.
“No idea. Especially with the money going to a good cause.”
She peered around him. “The line for skates isn’t long.”
Elias glanced over his shoulder. “That’s the shortest it’s been compared to earlier.”
“Nothing to stop you.”
“Except I might fall flat on my face.”
She couldn’t tell if he was making an excuse or not. “Everyone falls. I did this morning. No big deal.”
“You fell because of Higgins. You wouldn’t have otherwise.”
Ninety-nine percent true—because slips happened to everyone—but she wouldn’t admit that aloud. “Skate.”
He opened his mouth and then closed it. “If you’ll skate with me.”
Yes. Desire hit hard and fast. The joy coming from the rink was palpable. But self-preservation warned against it. “I…can’t.”
“Come on,” Elias urged in a playful tone. “I can tell you want to.”
Tasha did, but his recognizing that surprised her. The only problem? She hadn’t skated in public—outside of choreographing—in three years. Berry Lake might be a small town—with fewer people than Wishing Bay—but she no longer wanted to be in the limelight. Not that anyone would recognize her after quitting the sport after Worlds.
She struggled with what to say. “I do, but…”
“No buts. I don’t know what to do out there. It’s been that long.” The words rushed out. He didn’t even stop for a breath, but she discerned each one. “Follow me.”
