There's always room at the Evergreen.
Cozy, faith-friendly Christmas love stories set in Pine Haven, a snowy little Colorado town where the cocoa is real, the spruces stay lit, and the right people find their way up the drive.
The First Christmas at Evergreen Inn
December, 1986. A failing mountain lodge with thirty-one empty rooms, one reservation on the books, and a furnace that is thinking about it. Then a tired family in a station wagon pulls up the drive, and Ellie and Henry Evergreen are about to learn what the house is really for.

Six blocks of Main Street and a porch light that stays on
The Evergreen Inn sits on a low ridge at the top of Main Street, with a deep red door and a brass pinecone knocker everyone touches on the way in. Walk south past the florist and the bakery, cross the little covered bridge with a wreath at each end, and wave to the dachshund asleep in the bookshop window.
Longs Peak keeps watch over the valley. The freight train whistle carries up every night around eleven. And somewhere inside the inn, Ellie Evergreen is already pouring a second mug of cocoa for the person who needs it.
In every Evergreen Inn book
- Clean romance: sweet kisses, closed doors
- Faith that is lived, gentle and never preachy
- Second chances and grief handled with care
- Small-town Christmas traditions you can almost smell
- A happy ending, every time
Hello, I'm Winter
I write the kind of Christmas stories you read with a blanket over your knees and something warm going cold in your hands because you forgot to drink it.
My Evergreen Inn Christmas series is full of second chances, quiet grief gently healed, and the steady, hopeful belief that the right people have a way of showing up at the right door. A good Christmas book should feel like the inn itself: a warm room at the end of a hard road. I'd love to save you a seat by the fire.
