Sadie Johnstone is as sweet as apple pie, and she’s been friends with Glenn Dawson for years and years. She’s never seen him as any more than a friend, not until they’re no longer coworkers.

Glenn Dawson has secretly loved Sadie for years, but he’s never wanted to risk their friendship. It means too much to him. Complicating matters is her sister Daisy, who hasn’t been able to reconcile her parents dying so recently with her feelings for Robbie. Sadie’s probably not ready to date either, so Glenn decides to leave Blue Moon Ranch to work with Stephen and Robbie at another ranch.

Is the expression true that absence makes the heart grow fonder? Sadie and Glenn just might find out this Christmas season.
