This Christian romance novella, A Home for Christmas, is book 7 in the Home to Collingsworth series.

Over the years, Rose Collingsworth watched her aunts and uncles fall in love and marry, and now she wants that for herself. Too bad the man she’s set her sights on is more interested in keeping his distance.

When Declan Gallagher first came to Collingsworth, all he wanted was a place to do his carpentry and pillow to lay his head. His past left him resolved to avoid any emotional entanglements. But from the first moment he’d seen Rose Collingsworth, his heart had tested that resolve.

Will Declan be able to recognize his fear and rise above it? Or will his determination to never trust or love again win out? Wanting Declan in her life, Rose soon realizes that there is nothing more she can do but trust God to work things out and hope that it’s His will that she and Declan be together.
