WORKING BLURB
Fate is about to knit two men’s hearts into holiday joy.
Mitchell Baxter is a hard-working single dad trying to give his daughter the best Christmas a small engine repair shop owner can. Times are hard in the small town of Grouse Falls, jobs are scarce, and Christmas is just a month away. But Mitchell is ever hopeful that the projected bad winter will blow in soon. Then he’ll be up to his elbows in snow blower repairs.
Until Mother Nature decides to cooperate, he’ll keep busy fiddling with lawnmowers to sell next spring and crocheting mittens and scarves for the yearly town outerwear drive. Life is quiet, funds are tight, but he’s content for the most part. He’s had the love of his life; he has his little girl, and he has a mediocre income. He’s not looking for anything more. As long as his daughter is happy then so is he.
Then a striking stranger walks into his shop for mittens every morning for a week and Mitchell is more than a little intrigued. Especially since the drifter leaves a thousand dollar donation every visit. Anders Becken isn’t at all what he seems. What is Anders running from and will his mysterious past extinguish the attraction both men are feeling?
The Christmas Mittens is a standalone, small town, prince/commoner, gay Christmas romance with a hard-working single widower, a mystifying newcomer, a clever young miss, a struggling but caring rural community, a ribald group of yarn enthusiasts, lots of classic TV detective references, a tiny dog with a big personality, and a warm as a homemade sweater happy ever after.
