Blurb: The town’s too small for Kiley St. Claire’s
reappearance to be a surprise, still seeing her hits Cole Thomas like a punch
to the gut. She ripped his heart apart when she turned to ice and ran away all
those years ago. Now that she’s back, Cole’s going to say his piece and move
on.

Even if she does look damn good in that uniform.

Kiley St. Claire is back in the small town of Barrett, Vermont,
for one reason and one reason only: to earn some cash so she can survive her
final semester of grad school. She’s not there for the sexy Christmas tree
farmers.

Even the one who once held her heart.

What are your main
characters’ names, ages, and occupations?

Kiley St. Claire is a meteorology graduate student in her
mid-twenties.

Cole Thomas, also in his mid-twenties, has recently taken
over his family’s Christmas tree farm.

There’s really not much to tell. I’m focused on school right
now. I have one more semester until I complete my Masters on Meteorology. After
that, I’ll probably take a position forecasting for agriculture or maybe
something research-based. I guess I’m a little boring, just a regular girl.

Ha. I guess you’d say he’s the opposite of regular. Cole is
kind of gifted. He’s handsome and charming. You know how some people are just
really good with other people, like they make friends and keep the peace
without even trying? That’s Cole. I’m not saying he doesn’t work hard. He does.
He grew up on a farm, so he’s never not worked, but he has this way about him
that makes things look easy when they’re not. He’s also insufferably honorable,
so even when your mad at him you can’t help but love him. Yeah. That sucks.

Barrett. Ugh. Barrett,
Vermont has two traffic lights.
That’s actually a big deal. We got the second one when I was fifteen and it was
the biggest news all year. So, yeah, Barrett is a really small town. And of
course there are some things about growing up in a small town that are nice.
It’s safe, like leave your keys on your car seat safe, and pretty. Even having
grown up there I can’t deny that Barrett is an especially lovely place. But
it’s also a tiny dot on the map filled with people who spend way too much time
gossiping. There’s no movie theater much less anything more culturally
satisfying and our library is literally a single room off the side of the Moose
Lodge. A few years back the librarian retired and now people just check out and
return books on their own. Seriously.

Wow. Well, if you can keep a secret, I’ll admit that it used
to be Cole. I loved him.I mean really loved him. I suppose when you’re young
it’s usually just a crush, but when it’s your best friend–the person you know
best in the world– that’s a little different. That’s real. Of course Cole was
clueless. He was way too busy being the most popular guy in school to notice.
Which is good. I mean, he clearly doesn’t think of me that way. He loves me and
all, I know he does, but it’s like I’m his kid sister or something. I sometimes
doubt he even remembers that I’m a girl at all. So I’m glad he never figured it
out. A broken heart hurts plenty without a walloping dose of humiliation as a
side dish.

A library. A real one, not Barrett’s tiny space, but a giant
multi-floored building filled with dark wooden bookshelves and big comfy
chairs. The kind of place where you can get lost and learn anything.

Cole, actually. My mom used to get some work from his
parents during the Christmas season. She’d help make wreaths or work the cash
box and I tagged along and played with Cole once we got his chores done. I
loved being on the farm with Cole, we used chase the cats around the barn and
hike around the forest pretending to go on quests.
