After her abusive husband cheats half of Whiskey Creek out of their savings, Sophia is left destitute and hiding in her now empty mansion while she waits for the bank to take the few things she has left.
Ted was betrayed by Sophia in high school. He more than anyone has a right to celebrate her misfortune but when he hears about her difficulties he offers her a job as a housekeeper and cook.
Sophia is determined to make the most of the chance Ted has given her. She needs to make enough money to run away with her daughter and start afresh.
Take me Home for Christmas is very good contemporary romance about a woman who has been beaten down but with a little help manages to get back on her feet.
It’s occasionally heartbreaking but overall a satisfying and enjoyable read.
