Packed Together

On the day of her sister's wedding, Rosie Graham and all the guests find themselves snowed in by the holiday blizzard of 1946 at the last place she wants to be: the inn owned by Fairchild Resorts at Buckeye Lake. Instead of preparing for Christmas at home, she must dodge her summer sweetheart from a decade ago and pray no one guesses the secret she has kept ever since.

That fateful summer, Rosie allowed herself to be talked into the biggest compromise of her life by Keith, the Fairchild heir. She refuses to call that compromise a mistake because it resulted in her son, Charlie. Even though the stigma she's lived under as a result now may block her from adopting a little girl who desperately needs her love.

But don't expect a holiday romance that reunites former sweethearts.

Gabe Adams, Keith's best friend and the Fairchilds' business manager, is spending the holidays with the Fairchilds at the resort. He has come to the lake with a proposal in mind: a power match that has nothing to do with a single mother and artist, but rather her best friend, fashionable, clever, ambitious Dot Berkeley.

The chaos of the wedding guests invading the sleepy hotel mirrors the chaos in Gabe's heart as his plans unravel, even as Rosie fears she has no faith in her own heart as she's drawn to him.

Rosie and Gabe tell themselves the whole mess may simply stem from the unpredictability of the weather or the sentimentality of the holidays. As soon as the wedding guests can leave the hotel, their lives will return to normal.

But do they want to return to normal and the plans they've made?

They'll both need a great deal of discernment to step out in faith for this kind of love.
