Synopsis:

Sarah Morgenthaler is back with a heart-mending contemporary romance featuring a single dad you’ll fall for; a satisfying slow burn love affair; found family you’ll root for; small town holiday magic; and all the quirky animals and snowy rustic scenes your heart desires.

Sienna Naples’s family has taken care of their wild Idaho land for generations and Sienna can’t imagine any other life. But at Christmastime, with her parents gone and her painful marriage finally over, it’s full of memories…and incredibly lonely. Until a tall, handsome stranger and a little girl walk into her life and suddenly the holidays are alive again.

When single father Guy Maple shows up as the result of an ad meant to be a joke, the handsome Montana construction worker isn’t joking. Money is tight this Christmas, and Guy’s four-year-old daughter Emma has stage-five chronic kidney disease. She needs a kidney transplant, but if Guy can’t prove that he can afford Emma’s anti-rejection medications, his daughter isn’t going to stay on the transplant list. Guy’s willing to do anything, including marrying a stranger, to keep her safe. It’s an impulsive marriage of convenience, and Sienna knows this isn’t real, no matter how much she adores Emma, how well Guy fits in to the ranching life—or how much light and laughter is coming into their lives as a result. But the more time she spends with her new family, the more she fears losing the fragile, feisty little girl and the kind, devoted, hard-working, incredibly attractive man who is her husband—but is it only in name?

Sarah Morgenthaler returns with The Christmas You Found Me, a new romance that tugged at my heartstrings, trying its best to break me down into uncontrollable sobbing. But fear not, while it packed an emotional punch, it also left me hopeful and smiling.

The Christmas You Found Me is a holiday romance set in a small town in beautiful Idaho. With her divorce finally official, Sienna is trying her best to move on, focusing on her ranch and animals instead of her past. When her best friend Jess decides to annoy Sienna’s ex by putting up flyers around town advertising ‘Husband for Hire’, Sienna is surprised when an applicant finds her at the local coffee shop. Guy is new in town, unaware that the ad is a joke, and desperate to find work to pay for his very sick daughter’s medical treatment.

Sienna can’t stop thinking about the desperation in Guy’s eyes, especially after she meets Emma, his adorable four year old daughter with late-stage kidney disease. Sienna comes up with an even better plan: marrying Guy so Emma can be covered under her insurance.
