    About this ebook

    Dakota Timmons, a registered nurse, leaves the bustling city life for small town comfort in Washington’s wine country. As a child, she wished for a white Christmas. As an adult, her wish remains the same along with a new one. Vinegrove is exactly what she needs. She only hopes she’s what the doctor ordered. Or that he at least accepts her shocking news.
    Avoiding an accident by seconds on her way into town introduces Dakota to Tristan Hart. Instant attraction makes them both think about love for the first time in their demanding careers. He calls her Miss Country Girl and in her mind she calls him Mr. Stetson. Under his Stetson, this man has the most piercing eyes, a striking blue-green combination. They remind her of the Pacific tropical seas.
    She’s absorbed in thought to meet the man she’d changed her zip code for, but she’s reminded of Tristan when she joins her new friends for a wine and chat night. A basket is placed on her lap. She’s to pick a name from it and then ask him out. A wild idea but she agrees to play a game called The Love List. To her surprise, she picks Tristan Hart.

      Christmas Country Wishes - Angela Ford

      Excerpt

      Christmas Country Wishes

      The November air delivered a chill. The week before had carried the warm breeze of autumn and its beautiful array of colors. She’d grown up on the west coast and loved the drizzle and the mist. It only made the air fresh and everything it touched, so lush. But tonight she’d appreciated Ethel’s advice to wear a jacket. The dampness she felt would only be the beginning of her first experience, not only in the country; but a colder one. She anticipated the first snowfall. Actually, the thought thrilled her.

      She’d dreamt of a white Christmas since she was a child. Her new life would now make that wish come true. She’d made a more recent wish as a grown woman. But she hadn’t yet met him. The man she’d changed her zip code for. She’d heard Becca mention his name at the hospital but Dakota hadn’t yet met him. He’d left on a trip before she arrived and was due back the next day. Excitement raced through her as she walked toward Que Syrah Syrah. Not only to meet her new friends for their wine and chat night but for the next day. She’d finally meet him.

      Chapter One

      "He’s my father, not yours!"

      Excuse me?

      Dakota stopped midway at the kitchen doorway. She’d had enough of her younger sister’s constant ‘I’m better than you’. Normally, she ignored Sabrina’s pitiful comments. But that remark stopped her from storming out the door this time. Dakota’s eyes widened and she turned to look at her sister in shock.

      Why would you say that? You can be so cruel at times.

      Sabrina said nothing. She just stood there against the rich cherry hardwood cabinetry in their family kitchen. Her expression told Dakota there wasn’t an apology to follow. Sabrina, three years younger, acted as if she were the only child of Neil and Francine Timmons. She easily portrayed the spoiled rich brat. Neil Timmons had made his fortune in real estate but he was the only one in the household besides Dakota that didn’t flaunt it. Her mother and sister certainly did. She’d always thought they were pretentious but never admitted it aloud. She loved her dad. She’d always thought she was more like him and nothing like her mother or sister. A modest, simple girl no matter how much wealth surrounded her.

      You never apologize when you’re cruel to me. You think you’re better than me. I would never say something so hurtful to you.

      Dakota turned to leave when she heard her sister finally speak.

      But it’s true. He’s not your biological father. He’s mine.

      Dakota stopped as Sabrina continued.

      Ask him. Ask Mom. You’re not a true Timmons. That’s why you’ve never belonged here.

      Dakota’s eyes welled with tears. She wondered how one person could be so cold and heartless. She slammed the door behind her and hit the unlock button as she walked toward her car. Even her car was modest and economical, and she’d bought it herself. Her mother and sister drove the new shiny, expensive ones in the driveway but she’d refused her father’s gift on her sixteenth birthday. Dakota had saved the money she’d made babysitting since she was twelve. In her prestigious neighborhood, it had been easy to save five thousand dollars by the time she turned sixteen. She bought an older car that finally gave her freedom.
