Becoming Bella

"Sarah Hegger's voice is rich and witty and in a word, addictive." --Terri Osburn This Christmas, a good reputation can really get in a girl's way . . . As long as she can remember, Bella Erickson's been the unofficial sweetheart of Ghost Falls, Utah. And ever since Nate Evans dipped her braids in purple paint in the first grade, he's been her dream guy. Not that she minds the attention, but sometimes she wishes people saw more in her than just the girl who still has a crush on Sheriff Evans. She has a life after all, a new bridal shop to run, and more mature relationships to pursue . . . Nate knows he's not good enough for sweet Bella. But he's pretty sure the new guy sending her heart emojis and giant bouquets isn't either. And when Bella's suitor turns stalker, protecting Bella isn't just Nate's instinct--it's his duty. Crammed together for safety and really talking for the first time in years, Bella and Nate can't fight the moment their chemistry turns into pyrotechnics. Whether it will burn them out or light up the sky, only time will tell . . . Praise for Sarah Hegger and her Willow Park Romance series "Hegger offers a breath of fresh air in the romance genre." --RT Book Reviews "Hegger's characters have real chemistry, especially in the bedroom." --Publishers Weekly
