About this ebook

In the heat of war, Navy SEAL Trey Reyes made a promise: if things went sideways, he’d always look after his best friend’s widow. But he could never promise he wouldn't fall in love with her.

It’s been a year since Holly McGuire lost her husband. Now, she’s come to Marietta, Montana at Christmastime to finally begin again. She isn't looking for another husband—or another love story. She wants the one thing life never gave her: a child of her own. And she's made a private, no-strings-attached plan to make that dream come true.

There is only one problem.

Trey Reyes.

Holly’s late husband's former Navy SEAL commander and closest friend has been secretly watching over Holly for years, keeping both his promise and a far more dangerous secret: he’s loved her almost from the moment they met.

When Trey discovers what Holly is planning, his standing quietly on the sidelines is no longer an option. He doesn't want to choose Holly's future for her. He wants the chance to show her that wanting a family doesn't have to mean giving up on love.

In a Montana town glowing with Christmas lights, Holly came looking for a new beginning.

Could she actually find it with the man who's been there all along?

An excellent and very enjoyable story. Loved these characters and their story made for a very relaxing afternoon read. Holly McGuire spent many years alone and lonely as her husband first served in the military then spent most of his time off on one adventure after another. He'd always promise to settle down and start a family but that time never came. After one of his adventures became deadly, Holly has spent the last year on an adventure of her own. Now she's ready to settle down and start that family. All on her own. Well except for that one little thing she needs a man for but she has a plan for that. All she has to do is get through the visit to Marietta without Trey Reyes finding out her plan. While she would love to have Trey involved she knows Trey is not a man that would walk away and let her raise the child on her own. Can she pull this miracle off?? Definitely a recommended read.

A Little Christmas Magic by Barbara Ankrum. More happens than she expected when Holly brings together her deceased husband's Navy Seal's Band of Brothers to take care of the last of his ashes. A heart-warming story that I enjoyed. I hope there will be more with this characters in future stories.

Loved this Christmas story of starting over. Holly was married for nine years to the military and now she is ready to lay her husband to rest and start over. The one thing she has always wanted is a baby, no strings attached. She has returned to Marietta for her last journey, when she runs into her husband's best friend, Trey and sparks fly. Trey has always had feelings for Holly. Now with the little magic of Christmas make their dreams come true. Great characters that show so much emotion. Great to catch up with Canadays. Love Christmas in Marietta!!
