The excitement in North Pole overshadows even the town's preparations for its famous Fourth of July celebration. This could be Paige's big chance to make her business successful, or a dismal failure. To top things off, one of her best customers, the shy bush dweller she thinks of as "Bigfoot, but cuter," has suddenly started talking to her. Paige had her heart broken and her trust smashed by a man who lied to her about everything--his name, his occupation and his marital status. But at least with Ford Taylor, what she sees is what she'll get. Ford has a reason for living in the bush, for being off the grid and for using the Wi-Fi at Let it Snow! rather than buying his own. He knows he should tell Paige the truth of his identity, but he's been crazy about her for so long, he is dazzled by every minute he spends in her company. When the truth comes out, will their fledgling romance die a quick, painful death? Or has the somebody they've both been waiting for arrived at last? less
