This and Every Christmas

As teens, their paths crossed every year. This year, their paths intertwine.Single father Noah Appel has suffered more loss than a man of twenty-five should. Between his grief and the mounting pressure of the approaching busy season, he's overwhelmed. Until an incident at his daughter's school reintroduces him to a girl whose wild hair and quirky family always stood out from other visitors to his family's tree farm. Only now, she's a beautiful woman with a kind and helpful heart who throws him and his young daughter a welcome lifeline. Offering to alleviate some of Noah's stress seemed like the natural thing for music teacher Clari Sinclair to do, considering his family's tree farm was the site of so many wonderful memories growing up in her Christmas-obsessed family. Except the charming boy she once knew has grown into a handsome man unlikely to ever see beyond her ugly duckling exterior. After all, no one else has. Can these two turn memories of Christmases past into a future worthy of the Appel legacy?
