HOLIDAY HAVEN, Vicki Lewis Thompson -- Tansy Deter,
Director of The Haven, is devoted to her no kill animal
shelter. Meeting Ben Rhodes, cameraman for KFOR TV in
Tacoma, Washington while appealing for support at Christmas
for her animals, is just the beginning of new found love and
a time of healing. Ben has a fear of loving anyone or
anything for fear of losing them as has happened as a child
while living with his aunt and uncle. Tansy sees the
sadness and insecurity in Ben while falling helplessly in
love with him. It is not within her, though, to let someone
in her life that cannot care for and love a pet. Ben's
epiphany nearly arrives too late to salvage a future full of
love and happiness.
HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, Catherine Mann -- Shelby Dawson-Conrad
is taking a short vacation from her teaching job to
transport 3 shelter dogs from The Haven to their perspective
adoptive homes around Washington State. With her marriage
nearing a divorce and her husband, Alex, returning home from
deployment, this will be an opportunity to hash over their
plans while traveling. Chemistry is still there for both of
them and the trek across the state reveals the deep rooted
secrets they have both kept to themselves until now. The
mutual love of pets helps to bring realization to the
forefront as to what is really important to them.
A PUPPY FOR WILL, Kathie DeNosky -- Will Parker is coerced
by his grandmother into volunteering to foster a dog over
the Christmas holidays for The Haven. Will, raised by his
grandmother, reluctantly agrees with the condition he was
not giving the over sized puppy a forever home. Crystal Cove
Floating Home Community in Seattle is not equipped for this.
Harley, capable of opening the front door, disappears down
the pier and ends up being the cause for Macie Fairbanks and
Will to meet. Trouble is apparent as Macie is the reviewer
for Techno Nerd Monthly and has given some critical reviews
on Will's programming ability. His profession as a software
engineer has been under scrutiny. As their romance deepens,
so does Macie's fear that when Will discovers she is " the"
Ms. Tera Byte who has labeled his work, she will lose the
love just found.
Rescuing Christmas is a trio of delightful Christmas
tales which are sure to please the animal lover in all of
us. Three couples believe love is lost forever and have
been brought together with renewed love by their adoption of
a pet from The Haven. These are heartwarming tales at a
time of the year made for forgiving and renewed love.
All Ben Rhodes wants for Christmas is to be left alone. And
yet, in a fit of Christmas-cheer-induced insanity, he agrees
to help beautiful shelter director Tansy Dexter find homes
for all her rambunctious animals. Little does he know that
the one truly in need of a loving home this season...is him.
