About this ebook
From New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne comes a brand-new story about two women, a family secret and a lost manuscript that changes everything…
Raised by her literary icon father Carson Wells, Alison Wells always felt loved, even though her mother died when she was a teen. But when she takes a DNA test on a whim and discovers she has a sister she never knew about, it’s clear there are things her father didn't tell her before he died. Determined to meet Juniper—her half sister—and unravel the truth of what happened all those years ago, Ali finds herself taking a job as Juniper’s intern. She’ll eventually figure out a way to tell Juniper the truth of their relationship. But she never could have imagined what would happen next…
Juniper Connolly has always been incredibly healthy…until she wakes up in the hospital after experiencing cardiac arrest, with her new—and recently fired—intern to thank for saving her life. It’s clear June needs to de-stress her life a little, so when Ali offers her the use of her family’s cabin in a small Wyoming town, June has no reason not to go. But when she arrives, her life will never be the same.
Under the wide-open spaces of the Wyoming summer sun, Ali and June will untangle the secrets and lies their lives were built on to discover who they really are and what family really means. But even more than that, they'll build a real relationship with one another and finally become sisters.
Don’t miss SNOW KISSED by RaeAnne Thayne—a cozy holiday romance about a single mom, a borrowed date, and the kind of Christmas magic that turns a simple deal into something real

I was prepared for an emotional and heartwarming tale. The book has likeable characters, & I loved the setting. I wanted to move into Carson’s writing retreat (cozy cabin, porch, books galore, woods, and handsome neighbor whose dog stops by often). I found the DNA storyline to be a letdown.The ending to this particular thread felt like the author reached her maximum number of pages, so she had to resolve it immediately. Little was said about the manuscript. Feel good ending, but epilogue needed

RaeAnne Thayne writes another 5* story bringing families together in a heartfelt story. Intriguing and heartwarming. There is lots of romance in a small town atmosphere. Will love interests become strong enough to last? Secrets to be uncovered where the missing manuscript will reveal. But first they have to discover the manuscript or if there really is one. Likable characters. Thank you NetGalley and the publishers in letting me read this book and allowing me to leave an honest review.

So sad to reach the end! This book was an extremely emotional read. I love a book that makes me feel so much. I felt like the characters were real people, people I wanted to reach out and hug, especially Juniper. Oh, and Hank, what a sweetheart! This is a book not to be missed.
