The Thatcher-Adler feud goes back generations. Despite this, Ellie Thatcher befriended Liam Adler when she was a girl. She even managed to get a job at the Adler Reindeer Farm while in high school, the very farm that had once belonged to her family. Now, with college and a stint working overseas behind her, she's returning home to Reindeer Pass to open a photography studio. But the feud has been reignited and Ellie and Liam are about to get dragged into the middle of it. Liam Adler has returned to the Colorado town where he grew up to take over the family business after the sudden death of his father. It wasn't the life path he'd planned, and now he must convince old Eustace Hapgood to sell his adjacent land to the Adlers and not the Thatchers. And his opponent is none other than Ellie Thatcher-no longer the sweet and funny little girl he remembers, but all grown-up and strikingly beautiful. Years ago, Eustace told a young Ellie and Liam about the Legend of Reindeer Pass, where a rare Arctic reindeer herd is rumored to have lived since the first Thatcher and Adler men settled in the valley in the 1800's. When Ellie and Liam appear before the old man, Eustace tells them he will sell to the first to see the Vaadin, the largest of the elusive female reindeer. But there is more to the legend ... only the pure of heart are presented with such a gift. And to a special few, true love is granted. When Christmas comes around, everyone has their own special wish. For some, those wishes are as simple as getting the perfect gift for that special someone. For others, those wishes are much bigger. Especially, when they wish for love. Everyone deserves the gift of love, but sometimes that's more complicated than it should be. This year is different. For those pure of heart, their wishes, even their wishes for true love, just might be granted. Wishing for Love is a heartwarming series about Christmas wishes of love coming true for those who have the purest of hearts.
