This lonely veteran is searching for a sign. But the single mom he’s falling for is determined to make her own destiny.
Axel Williams walked away from a military career and returned to his hometown with a secret fortune and plans to help out his family. He doesn’t have to work anymore, but a man needs a purpose. His search for some sign of what to do next lands him a volunteer job teaching flag football at the local elementary school just before the holidays. Single mom Eden Wilder made a big mistake the last time she followed her heart. But since then, she’s learned to stop seeing signs everywhere. Now she focuses on living a sensible life with her eight-year-old son, Jack, and her amazing new job teaching fifth grade in beautiful, small town Trinity Falls. When the town’s favorite former tight end starts teaching flag football during gym class, Eden manages to mostly ignore his rugged good looks, even though none of the other teachers can seem to stop whispering about the big hunk and how cute he is with the kids. But then Axel takes an interest in a starstruck Jack and offers to spend extra time with him, and suddenly Eden can’t say no. From throwing a football around outside, to attending town holiday activities, to dreaming up a project that just might bring a smile to a lot of kids’ faces, the three of them start sharing more and more time together. But when Axel realizes what the universe is trying to tell him, will he be able to convince Eden that a dependable man can make her life better? Axel Williams isn’t the type of guy to give up easily, but it just might take a winter storm and a Christmas miracle to warm Eden up to the idea that it’s okay to fall in love again, and make little Jack’s Christmas wish come true |
