Home for the Holidays

Rising country-rock star Cheryl Stanton’s forced return to her tiny Indiana hometown—at Thanksgiving time, no less—has her singing the blues. After her band’s hectic tour pace pushes both body and voice to the brink, much-needed rest trumps her vow never to return. Where better to escape the demands of fame than the place that knew her before she rocketed to stardom? Her plan to disappear into the Indiana cornfields works just fine until a run-in with an escaped cow puts her in contact with high school crush Derrick Mullins, the one guy who never spared her a second glance—or so she thought. 

Derrick looked, all right. However, with his plans to stay put in Langley and Cher’s to leave town right after graduation, he never saw the point in starting something she wouldn’t stick around to finish. Older and wiser now, the paramedic lives for the present instead of a future he may not survive to see. He wastes not a second letting Cher know he’s interested and soon they’re making up for lost time. But she still has no desire to stay in Langley and Derrick can't bring himself to leave. Can they ever agree there's no place like home for the holidays?
