Every Bell that Rings (Peace Country Romance Book 2) - print book
Can his Christmas spirit banish her ghosts of Christmas past?
Stephanie Neufeld despises Christmas cheer. How can she get into the spirit when the season only reminds her of a childhood she’d rather forget? But when the nurse agrees to cover a co-worker’s shift to avoid the town Santa Claus parade, she doesn’t expect her first patient to be her high school crush—the guy who once ghosted her after a single date.
Noel Butler can’t just sit around for the holidays with a busted leg. Instead, he concocts a new challenge: make the attending nurse he almost dated fall in love with Christmas. Since she won’t speak to him, playing Secret Santa won’t entangle his fiercely guarded heart. Will it?
While Noel’s selfless dedication to helping some fostered teenage twins melts Stephanie’s icy reserve, she can’t help but feel his Santa hat isn’t his only secret. When old wounds reopen, will fear keep Noel and Stephanie frozen in the past… or can they discover a warm new reason to celebrate the season?
Every Bell that Rings is the second standalone title in the sweet and clean Peace Country Romance series. If you like second chances, small towns, big heart, and a bit of grit along with your joy-filled white Christmases, grab a cup of cocoa and cozy up with this wholesome love story.

“Do you think we could make your sister fall in love with Christmas?”
Noel looked at Steph's sister expectantly.
Autumn blinked at him. “What do you mean, we? I thought you were trying to stay out of Stephanie’s way.”
Noel jerked back. She was right. “I will. As much as is civil, I mean. But that’s no reason to let your sister miss out on all the Christmas joy, right? Which is why I’ll need your help.”
Autumn looked at him skeptically. “Seems like an awful lot of trouble for someone who doesn’t even like you.”
Noel grinned. “What can I say? I like a challenge. Besides,” he said, tapping the cast beneath his jeans, “what else have I got to do?”
