Tessa's Christmas Joy (An Aspen Creek Christmas: Heartwarming Christian Christmas Love Stories #2)
Linore Rose Burkard

Love, Faith, and a Christmas Can letting go lead to the love she’s been waiting for?
Tessa knows true love is worth the wait, and Gabe, the man of her dreams, is ready to propose. But not to her! He doesn't see her as anything more than the super-efficient church secretary. And she can't begin to compete with his pretty, vivacious girlfriend. When he asks her to help him pick out the engagement ring, she promises God she'll give him up. But she can't control her feelings for Gabe, or stop hoping things will change.
Gabe, the new pastor intern, was immediately drawn to Tessa. But with a strict warning from Pastor Mark to keep things professional, he was forced to bury his feelings and focus on his job. And when he met his girlfriend, he thought he'd found the right woman to settle down with and build a family.
Tessa knows she must let go of Gabe. The only way to do it is to quit the job and the church she loves.
Only a Christmas miracle could change her mind. But do miracles still happen?
READER'S
"I enjoyed this second story as much as the first. Tessa's loved Gabe for a very long time, but it seems her hopes are pointless, now she has to decide what she is going to do after Gabe marries Emma. A clean and easy read that will leave you feeling good!"
