Thanksgiving Duet — Dana Mentink

Conductor Pippa Lewis is in over her head. A new arrival to Christmas Town, Maine, she's the last minute replacement to lead the orchestra for the town's production of the Nutcracker. What's more, she's not exactly brimming with Thanksgiving cheer as she struggles to raise her deceased best friend's little girl. Bodie Stark has his own troubles. The rugged ex soldier felt like a dad to a little boy who was stripped from his life. The last thing Bodie wants is to fall in love with the flame haired Pippa and her precious charge. That's fine with Pippa since she plans on leaving Christmas Town as soon as the last note is played. But Thanksgiving has a way of bringing people together and this holiday will find Pippa and Bodie coming together in the duet of a lifetime.
