Victoria Finney has always been the planner. So, when she's blindsided by a terminal
diagnosis, she's not just worried about her own future-she's worried about her
husband, Troy. Determined to ensure he's cared for after she's gone, Victoria embarks
on an unconventional mission: find Troy a new wife. Without telling him about her
diagnosis, she secretly brings her sister-in-law with her to a grief support group to seek out a potential wife, sets up
an online dating profile for him, and throws herself into living her remaining days to the
fullest.
Meanwhile, Victoria's niece, Lizzy, escapes a dangerous relationship and moves in with
her. Reeling from her past and wary of love, Lizzy isn't prepared to fall for Tim, a
charming yet persistent man connected to Victoria's tight-knit circle of friends. The witty
banter between them only masks Lizzie's fear of trusting someone new, but Tim might
just be the one to help her heal.
As Christmas approaches, Victoria creates an advent calendar full of bucket-list items,
drawing her family and friends into a series of joyful and bittersweet adventures. Each
day spent with her loved ones brings them closer, and Victoria soon realizes that the
real legacy she'll leave behind isn't finding Troy a new wife-it's the bond she's created
between them all.
Full of heart, humor, and second chances, Christmas in Side Lake is the fourth book in
The Turtle Creek Series and a story about living life fully, even in the face of loss. Perfect for
fans of contemporary romance with a dash of holiday magic.
