Christmas, canines and courtship... Dale Wilson's life hasn't been "good" since his beloved wife died--at least until Millie Monroe moves to Ocean Breeze. Dale and his dog Juice can't help but be drawn to the pediatric nurse. A widow herself, Millie understands not wanting romance. Finding unexpected common ground has given them both a friendship they've craved. Plus, their respective pups have become friends, too! But Dale has a secret--he's bestselling author WG Gunder. Not something he readily wants to admit to the woman in his heart...and his bed. Perhaps the Christmas spirit can teach him that sometimes happily-ever-after is disguised as a new beginning... From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness. The Cottages on Ocean Breeze
