Julia is delighted to kick off Christmas in the Texas Hill Country and the Whiskey River Christmas series with her new release, set just after WWI. Wounded soldier Drew Harwood returns home to his fiancee Felicity–only to lose her in the world-wide Spanish flu epidemic. Setting his face against joy and love, he hires an army friend to manage the ranch his bad leg prevents him from running and turns his Victorian home into an inn. But determined that her cherished fiance will have the happiness denied them, the spirit of Felicity lingers.
When Red Cross nurse Audra Donaldson comes to spend Christmas at the Harwood House Inn to visit her brother, Drew’s manager, Felicity thinks this widowed battlefield nurse might be just the person to heal Drew’s heart–and Audra’s own. It won’t be easy for this lonely, bitter man and this woman who doesn’t want to risk loving again to open themselves to each other…but who can resist a love that lasts beyond time?
