“Book me a room at the inn—I’m coming back to the delightful town of Whisper Shore for Christmas!” – Susan May Warren, best-selling author and rabid fan of Here to Stay. Librarian Pennilynn Baxter likes life the way she likes her bookshelves—neat and tidy, arranged just so. Niggling doubts aside, getting engaged to the nice man she’s been dating for two years is the obvious next step, right? But on the snowy evening of the expected proposal, Penn discovers someone’s been squatting in the old Victorian house she inherited from her grandparents. She finds herself back in picturesque Whisper Shore, Michigan, facing off with an intruder named Will who may not be what he seems. As charming as the house he’s taken over, Will pushes past the reserve that has kept Penn from living the brave life she craves. And one December night in the house she used to love in the town she used to adore changes everything. One December Night is an e-short companion to my second book, Here to Stay, a full-length novel USAToday.com calls “simply adorable.” Discover the story behind the annual Whisper Shore snowball fight, meet the adventurous Blake Hunziker mentioned in One December Night, and fall in love with the town reviewers compare to Gilmore Girls’ Stars Hollow.
