A Mom for Christmas — Lorraine Beatty

A Christmas Reunion

Noah Carlisle is surprised to see first love Beth Montgomery back in Dover. Beth left their small Mississippi town -- and him -- years ago for a ballet career. Now the only female in Noah's life is his daughter, and he won't risk their future for a temporary reunion with Beth. Home to rehab her knee, Beth counts the days to resume her career -- until she sees her long-ago beau. Celebrating Christmas with the handsome man and his adorable child, Beth wonders if the dreams worth chasing were always right in her own backyard. Can she stay and be Noah's second chance and his daughter's Christmas wish -- a gift-wrapped mom under the tree?
