Prepare to fall in love with a charming cast of characters that will make you laugh and cry-and be sure keep tissues handy as you make your way to the gorgeously written and satisfying conclusion.      -Julianne MacLean, USA Today bestselling author of The Color of Heaven and Beyond the Moonlit Sea. Against incredible odds, the lives of two lost souls - Patrick Chamberlain and Maple Bannerman - intertwine one Christmas Season.
Facing death years ago, Patrick made a deal with an angel. He could continue living as long as he provided a special payment daily - a pin gathered from those in need of a day's reprieve. With angelic assistance, Patrick moves through a world where everyone is destined to quickly forget him - until he meets Maple. Coffee shop owner Maple Bannerman has turned her back on romance and Christmas. She finds solace in her art and her business.
Yet, intrigued by Patrick's brooding presence in her shop one late December day, she breaks her rule of not sketching people. She is captivated by his mysterious persona, his smile. She can't resist the pull of their connection that day, nor the next when he returns. Knowing Patrick's stay in Rallison is temporary, Maple allows herself the indulgence of a whirlwind romance. Patrick too becomes increasingly smitten with Maple.
In defiance of their fates, Patrick and Maple risk everything to experience this once-in-a-lifetime love, even if it is destined to end. But some rules are not meant to be broken, and there will be consequences. Yet, how could there not be consequences when magic, hope and love collide at Christmastime?
