Loving a Toymaker: A Lone Star Christmas

Book 3: Lone Star Love Stories

by Kristen Iten

Synopsis

A wealthy bachelor, a widowed mother, and the Christmas that gave them a second chance at love.

After inheriting his uncle's fortune, Hans Christoph had everything except the one thing he wanted most—love. The once-poor carpenter, never wanted the lonely life of a bachelor, but he lost the only woman he ever loved to another suitor years ago. Since then, he's buried himself in his work, hiding his heart away and knowing he could never love another woman the way he still loved Clara.

With only weeks until Christmas, Clara Hargrove learned of the mortgage her recently deceased husband took out on their property. As a penniless, expectant mother to a brood of young children, she doesn't know if her family will have a home on Christmas morning. When a chance meeting brings Hans and Clara together again, she pulls back, ashamed to let him see how far she's fallen.

Faced with the prospect of becoming homeless, Clara has a hard choice to make: split up her young family and send them to live with faraway relatives, or accept the helping hand of the only man who ever truly loved her. But she turned him down back when he was poor, and doesn't believe she deserves his affection now that the tables have turned.

Hans has his work cut out for him if he doesn't want to lose Clara, the children he's come to love, and the happily ever after they all deserve.
