Evergreen Christmas, Frosted Firs Ranch Book 1 By Janet Dailey

In the quaint town of Noel, North Carolina, the annual Competitions of Christmas are in full swing, and newcomer Jordyn Banks is ready to make her mark. A talented barrel racer and horse breeder, Jordyn has finally found the perfect land to start her dream, along with the chance to challenge the reigning Christmas tree decorating champion—her charming next-door neighbor, Nate Reed.

Nate, a devoted single dad, has won the town’s Christmas tree contest for nine consecutive years, a tradition he cherished with his late wife. This year, however, Jordyn's determination to compete with her newly inherited Fraser Fir adds unexpected tension to their budding friendship. As the competition heats up, Nate finds himself captivated by Jordyn’s strength, beauty, and infectious humor. His daughter, Roxanna, adores her, seeing in her a spark of joy that’s been missing since her mother’s passing.

As the holiday festivities unfold, Jordyn must confront her nomadic heart and question whether she can truly put down roots in this close-knit community. Meanwhile, Nate grapples with the fear of opening his heart again. Can their growing bond survive the pressures of competition and past heartaches? In a tale where love flourishes amid twinkling lights and festive cheer, Jordyn and Nate discover that sometimes, love grows on Christmas trees after all. 📚❤️
