Return to Snowy Creek Inn

By Chloe Appleton

Christmas at Snowy Inn is always hectic - wonderful, but hectic... and this season is on track to surpass the previous years put together.

Behind her radiant smile, the inn's owner, Lacey McAllister, is struggling to summon up her usual festive cheer.

Her husband, Ryan, currently deployed overseas, will not be home to join in the celebrations, leaving Lacey to decorate, plan menus, welcome guests, and deal with the litany of inevitable hiccups - which would no doubt arise - without his calming presence.

More importantly, Lacey is due to give birth to their first child bang slap in the middle of the holidays, her excitement tempered by the knowledge Ryan won't be there to share the joy.

Then again... it's Christmas, and sometimes wishes come true...
