Details at the end of the post . . .
Who knew a bit of real estate could spark such a heated contest?
Single mom McKenzie, determined to escape her high-powered, painful life behind, decides to return to her small town life and buy the home she grew up in. There is only one problem. There is a firm offer on it.
By Jared, who happens to be a young, attractive, widower and single dad.
Sparks of attraction turn to sparks of animosity as the two try to outmaneuver each other in the real estate deal of their lives.
Winner gets the house of his/her dreams with room to breathe and grow.
Loser gets  . . . to keep on looking.
Will a growing attraction seal the deal?
Or simply make everything worse?
For Sale by Owner is a sweet, clean, romantic, holiday story that will warm you as surely as a cup of rich hot chocolate held between mittened hands and warm cookies straight from the oven (Recipes included!).
A tale of small sacrifices and lost love found and prayers answered. With a little bit of family drama thrown in for Christmas spice.
Looking for a sweet Christmas read for the holidays? Look in the real estate section: For Sale by Owner.


I was given a copy of this delightful book to read and review. I was not compensated in any way for said review. Darn.
