"In early December on the way home from a research trip through Arkansas, mystery writer Trey Austin, anonymously writing as "Chapel Hill", is traveling on a dirt road, trying to get back to the main highway when he drives into a thunderstorm and wrecks, leaving him upside down and unconscious in a flooding ditch. Hailey Beaumont has been in the Arkansas hills coaxing a couple of old-time recipes from a local woman to add to her menu at her B&B, which is closed for three weeks due to renovations. She is on her way back to Colorado in the thunderstorm when an angel leads her down that same dirt road, right to Trey. Hailey rescues him from the flooding car, calls 911, and comforts him as he drifts in and out of consciousness while they wait for emergency services to arrive. Soaked and shaken to the core, she doesn't realize she's lost a shoe in the mud until the ambulance takes him away and she walks back in her car for her long drive home. Trey wakes up in the hospital with a concussion, but immediately asks the patrolman about the woman who found him. The patrolman holds up the bagged muddy little shoe and tells him she left before she gave anyone her name. Two nights later, Trey is released and all he can think about his his Cinderella. He posts the shoe and his story on social media, hoping that someone can help find her. Many women come forward, but none match his memory of the woman who saved him. Weeks pass when Hailey stumbles upon it and responds, inviting him to her B&B for Christmas. His instantly recognizes her and agrees. The delightful holiday is just the beginning of a fairytale romance together--one that ends with their own HEA"-- Provided by publisher.
