Can a magical Christmas under glass…
…bring them back together for good?
Widowed dad Adam Masterson still doesn’t understand why Joy Boston left Indian Lake and broke his heart all those years ago. Now she’s returned to sell her grandfather’s beloved poinsettia greenhouse—and Joy and Adam’s connection is as strong as ever. But Joy has a life in New York. And Adam has only until Christmas to convince Joy that she belongs in Indian Lake—with him.
CATHERINE LANIGAN knew she was born to storytelling at a very young age when she told stories to her younger brothers and sister to entertain them. After years of encouragement from family and high school teachers, Catherine was shocked and brokenhearted when her freshman college creative-writing professor told her that she had “no writing talent whatsoever” and that she would never earn a dime as a writer.
For fourteen years she did not write until she was encouraged by a television journalist to give her dream a shot. That was nearly forty published novels, nonfiction books and anthologies ago. To add to the dream, Hallmark Channel has recently released The Sweetest Heart, based on the second book in her Harlequin Heartwarming series, Shores of Indian Lake. With more books in the series and more movies to come, Catherine makes her home in La Porte, Indiana, the inspiration for Indian Lake.

“I own this greenhouse now.”
“Right.” Adam reached into his pocket, took out the key. “It’s the craziest thing—this key to the greenhouse. It takes me back not just to us, but to all the fun, the sharing, the knowledge. And to Frank. This greenhouse was his passion,” Adam said.
“I remember the feeling I had when I’d walk through the doors after school. Being here was…”
“Magic,” he finished for her as he took her hand, turned it palm up, placed the key in her hand and closed her fingers around it.
Joy sucked in a breath as he touched her.
Energy shot from his hand to hers, filling her with an overwhelming longing to be held by him. Joy couldn’t stop this magnetism even if she wanted to. And she didn’t want to.
His eyes held hers, not wavering.
It was as if they were in a realm all their own. Maybe it was magic that she and Adam had once had…
