My Review
The perfect Christmas read for an escape. I read it in almost one sitting. High powered executive Vanessa is sure she will be sent to Paris for a work assignment over Christmas but things don't go as planned.
In actuality she gets an assignment in Frasier Hills,North Carolina to close a fruitcake factory before the new year to make room for a
sporting goods company.
If she succeeds a nice fat bonus will be coming her way. This workaholic has no time for family or friends , this is a working vacation. What she doesn't count on is coming to know the town's people and having her cousin come to stay with her as well.
When two lonely and hurting hearts come together a
Christmas miracle can happen. Very sweet small town feeling romance with a cheerful Christmas feel. Expected publication: September 29th 2020 by St. Martin's Griffin I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.

GoodReads Summary
A perfect gift that captures the spirit of the season, USA Today bestselling author Nancy Naigle’s A Heartfelt Christmas Promise celebrates the holidays, small-town traditions, and the generosity of love between two lost souls who find everything they ever wanted in each other. Vanessa Larkin was supposed to be spending Christmas in Paris, France on a business trip she hoped to enjoy as a working vacation. Instead, she’s been assigned to Fraser Hills, North Carolina—home of the Best Fruitcake in the USA—to convert her company’s property into warehouse space and shut down Porter’s, the fruitcake factory. Offering retirement packages and selling locals on new job opportunities may not spread holiday cheer, but Vanessa believes she’s helping secure the town’s future. Mike Marshall’s family founded Porter’s. For decades, the factory served as the lifeblood of the community until his grandfather sold the business to a Chicago corporation. The sale cost the town its independence—and the Marshalls their family ties. A horse farmer, Mike was never involved with his grandfather’s company, but still felt Fraser Hills lost part of its identity. And as a widower raising a teenage daughter, he’s suffered enough losses in one lifetime. News of the factory’s closing means losing another piece
of the town’s legacy. Far from the skyscrapers and rapid pace of the city, Vanessa finds herself enjoying the easygoing rhythms of rural living. With Mike as her guide, she learns to appreciate the simple pleasures found in shared holiday festivities among friends. Fraser Hills is a town she is growing to love—and Mike is someone she is falling in love with. Now all Vanessa needs is a Christmas miracle to give her newfound friends and home a gift they’ll cherish for many New Years to come.
