The Tree at Founders Inn

If anyone had ever asked Russell Allen how he imagined his Homecoming after three tours in Afghanistan, this would not have been his idea. Injured in a suspicious accident while deployed, Russell is now out of the Marines and out of place in his small hometown of Founders, California. Home just in time for the holidays, Russell is roped in to helping an old friend organize the Annual Toy Drive. But the more he gets involved with Lilly Gardner, the more he realizes that helping her is just an excuse to be with the one person who has always fit him perfectly.For Amelia "Lilly" Gardner, The Founders Inn is more than just a lovely tourist destination. It's the heart of the community and the life blood of her family. When the Inn begins to lose money, Lilly is determined to find a way to keep it out of the hands of the most miserable man in town. She concocts an idea to create a community-wide holiday celebration like no other. With the help of the newly returned Russ Allen, she is willing to believe anything is possible…even a long lost dream come true.
