Christine Powers is a marketing executive who takes a little time away from her busy office to care for her grandmother Ella while her parents are on vacation. She arrives at Mackinac Island preoccupied with her work, and is thrown for a loop when her grandmother's male boarder, Will Lambert, picks her up. She finds it odd that her grandmother has a boarder and she even questions his intentions. With the obvious love between her grandmother and Will, Christine feels left out. Will she be able to take proper care of her grandmother with her work weighing so heavily on her? Will she be able to accept Will as he is without any hidden agendas?

Will Lambert is a local business owner who does not have much business in the winter. When he agrees to pick up Ella's granddaughter, he is not sure what to expect. He has met her parents and knows that she was raised in a Christian household, but his first encounter with her has him doubting her Christian faith. When she sees his business, she has immediate ideas on how he can market his product during the winter. He is satisfied with his lifestyle, and has no desire for such drastic change. As he becomes better acquainted with Christine, he is certain that she is the one God has chosen for him. Will he be able to compete with the job she obviously enjoys? Will he be able to convince her that they are meant to be together?

Gail Gaymer Martin has chosen the perfect season in which to set her story. Christmas is a time of new beginnings, and Christine goes through a period of restructuring in her life. She knows Will has an amazing faith and she struggles to find her balance. She needs to make her peace with God and restore her faith before she can handle the situation she finds herself in. The supporting characters, especially grandma Ella, are wonderful and help aid the couple in their journey. I enjoyed the holiday tale, and I love the Christmas season in which it is set. WITH CHRISTMAS IN HIS HEART is a wonderful romance that shows that God has a plan for everyone.
