Saving Christmas

Description for SAVING CHRISTMAS by Pamela Bauer:

Only thirty days till Christmas...

Sara Richards had one month to save the sleepy hamlet of Christmas, Minnesota, from extinction and one month to save herself from Joe Gibson. The man who'd fueled her schoolgirl fantasies was home for the holidays, and everyone in town knew there was unfinished business between her and Joe.

Joe was more desirable than ever. Just the sight of him made Sara hot all over - even in the midst of a Minnesota winter. Then the townsfolk - all 272 of them - decided to play matchmaker, and Sara wondered how her heart was going to make it till Christmas...
