All Is Bright

Sage McKnight is a young architect at her father's firm, and she is ambitious about it. Her newest commission is a house in Hope's Crossing for Mason Tucker, the hardest client she has taken on.

Mason used to play professional baseball. A plane crash ended that career and left him using a wheelchair, raising his child on his own and still recovering from the physical and emotional damage. He keeps people at a distance and intends to keep doing so.

Sage believes this house is the best design she has produced, and a grumpy client will not keep her from overseeing it in person. She has a knack for taking broken things and improving them, which puts her in daily contact with a man who wants no repair.

The town works against his resistance. Its quirky residents have a talent for matchmaking, and the Christmas season is in full swing around the building site. This is a Christmas romance with a warm, light tone, and the question it turns on is how long Mason can hold his walls up.
