Wassailing We Will Go

She needs a Christmas miracle; he may be just what Santa had in mind.

Kate Donnelly is all grit and to-do lists trying to keep her family’s Prince Edward County cidery—and her sanity—afloat. A glossy new competitor is stealing her customers, her ornery neighbour has made ruining Kate's life her full-time job, and her beloved cidermaker lands in the ER days before the Christmas Wassail Festival—the event that could make or break the year.

Enter Harrison Turner: a sunny Australian with outdoorsy good looks, effortless charm, and exactly the cidermaking skills Kate needs to make it through the next two months. Their hot-tub meet-cute feels suspiciously like fate… until she learns he’s best mates with the competition and living in their basement. As sparks fizz and “professional boundaries” start to blur, Kate must decide how much of her family’s legacy—and her guarded heart—to trust to a man caught between two orchards.

About

Amanda spent many years working for the tourism industry in Prince Edward County before finally setting in the Durham Region.

She lives with her husband, kiddo, dog, and cat on Lake Ontario, and gets back to Prince Edward County every chance she gets, because it’s where the free baby sitters and good restaurants live.
