A broken carousel. A guarded heart. A holiday miracle in the making.Sally Myers has built a life of precision and stability. As a successful pharmacist, she knows exactly what to expect from her day—and she likes it that way. After a lifetime of being left behind by the men who were supposed to stay, she has boarded up her heart tighter than a shopfront in winter. She doesn’t do "temporary," and she certainly doesn’t do "traveling men."
Jeff Campbell is both.
A traveling craftsman with a talent for bringing vintage carousels back to life, Jeff is only in town until the job is done. He’s used to a transient life, especially during the holidays when his own loneliness is easier to outrun on the road. But as he and Sally work side-by-side to meet a New Year’s deadline, Jeff realizes he isn't just restoring wood and paint—he’s finding a reason to finally plant roots.
As the carousel begins to spin again, Sally finds her defenses melting. But when the restoration is complete and the next job calls Jeff away, she faces her ultimate test of faith: Will he be the one who finally stays, or will she be left behind one more time?
