About this ebook

Sometimes love is just a shop away. This heartwarming and emotional small-town romance from beloved author Karen Kingsbury shows that love the second time around can be found in unlikely places, often alongside healing and hope. As romance blooms between a military widow and the antique dealer who promises to find her heirloom family ring, they will both have to honor the past and find a way towards their happily ever after.

After losing her husband, Vanessa Mayfield believed her heart was closed for good. Returning to her quiet hometown, she plans to focus on helping others and rebuilding a peaceful life—nothing more.

While searching for her family's long-lost heirloom ring, she meets Ben Miller, a local antique dealer. The two are drawn to each other and forge a friendship that soon becomes a deep and breathtaking romance. But neither are sure that what they've found can last.

As Vanessa organizes her annual Columbus Cares Christmas Military Dance, she looks forward to her daughter's return from college. But Vanessa hasn't told Sadie about Ben. After all, Vanessa hadn't anticipated finding love again after losing her husband.

Just as Ben is about to declare his love for Vanessa, he discovers a secret about her missing ring that could unravel their relationship before it had the chance to start.

Certain he knows where Vanessa's ring is, Ben leaves town in a frantic rush. But can he stop a certain sale, or will Vanessa's ring be lost forever?

This cozy, clean romance is perfect for readers who love stories about healing after loss, small-town charm, and finding love again when the time is right. The Christmas Ring is also available to stream online across digital platforms--starring Jana Kramer, Kelsey Grammer, Benjamin Hollingsworth, and Jessie James Decker!

I want to see the movie so badly but I can't afford it. so I decided to buy the book instead and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely loved it!! and once the movie is streaming, I look forward to watching it on my TV as well. what a beautiful and heartfelt story. And what I loved most about it was faith. Everybody knew about prayer, about going straight to the Bible scriptures and God. God was everywhere in this story! I can't wait to see the actual movie someday. Christmas movies are my favorite.

A cute, heartfelt & heartwarming Christmas story. It deals with faith, love, romance, family & relationships. You may want to get your tissues ready. It touched my heart! It would make a great Hallmark movie! I’ve never read any of Karen Kingsbury’s books, but this won’t be my last! This would be a great book to read this time of year or actually anytime of year! You won’t want to miss this Christmas story during this upcoming Christmas season! A must read! Thanks NetGalley & the publisher.
