Part of Virgin River, book 18
First published 2012
Patrick Riordan has always been the gentlest of the Riordan brothers, but his demanding career as a navy pilot tests his easygoing nature. This Christmas, he encounters Angie LeCroix, who has come to Virgin River hoping for a peaceful holiday away from her overprotective mother. Instead, she finds herself under the watchful eye of her uncle Jack Sheridan, who would prefer she avoid dating altogether. Jack especially disapproves of any involvement with the rugged Patrick Riordan. Angie has her own vision for the Christmas she wants and the type of man who interests her. Both Patrick and Angie initially seek solitude during the holiday season, but their meeting changes everything. They discover they want to spend their time alone together. However, the Sheridan and Riordan families have other ideas about how Patrick and Angie should spend their Christmas in Virgin River.
