The Christmas Melody

By Shanna Hatfield

With the holiday season upon, I love to think about what it would have been like to be preparing for the holidays a hundred or so years ago. I especially enjoy dreaming about what the characters in my Hardman Holidays series might be doing.

Would they be making medallion decorations, filling paper cones with treats, baking cookies and sweets? Would there be skating parties and sledding and programs at the school and church in their small town?

Because I love this little town that was once a booming stage stop and is now a ghost town, I couldn’t let the holiday season pass by without writing another book in the series.
 

The Christmas Melody will release Dec. 28, but you can pre-order it now! Please CLICK HERE.

The story is about a socialite from Philadelphia and a man living in a secluded cabin in the woods with his adorable, precocious four-year-old daughter.

He needs a holiday miracle. . .
She’s prepared to deliver one

Claire Baker does nothing halfway. She makes it a point to follow her heart, even when it leads her to a small Eastern Oregon town to stay with relatives. In truth, she loves Hardman and the people there. Which is why she wants a recluse she met in the woods and his adorable daughter to join in the community holiday celebrations. The more time they spend together, the more she realizes she’s fallen hopelessly in love with both of them.

All Grayson Carter wants is to be left alone. That’s why he built his cabin in the middle of more than a thousand acres of woods, seeking to disappear from the world and keep his daughter, Maddie, safe. Then a beautiful interloper appears and becomes quite determined in her efforts of drawing him back into the land of the living. As she brings him and Maddie Christmas cheer, he realizes falling in love with her could be the best and worst thing he’s ever done.

With Christmas fast approaching, a mystery to be solved, and old-fashioned holiday fun, this sweet historical romance will fill your heart with the joys of the season. 

Purchase The Christmas Melody, now on preorder, and enjoy this delightful Christmas romance.
