Sidetracked: A Small Town Contemporary Rom-Com
When big city corporate raider, James Fordham, takes charge of a small-town energy company, he anticipates an easy job in a boring place. Success will earn him a promotion in the family business and possibly his father’s approval. All he has to do is quickly learn the energy industry, fire people, cancel the train display, turn a profit, and get out of town before anything interesting happens. Neither unforking the lawn nor kissing the beguiling Claire on his front porch are on the schedule.
Miniature train display artist Claire Evans wants nothing more than to preserve her grandfather’s legacy – the energy company’s annual Christmas train display. Now that he’s gone, she’s, determined to honor his commitment to creating big smiles from small trains. She’s not the only one who wants the trains to continue. The whole town is counting on the beloved holiday display to bring in precious tourist dollars. Everyone, that is, except James, the handsome diversion out to derail her plans.
With the town’s survival on the line, how far will Claire and the prankster citizens of Belkin, Ohio go to save their cherished traditions?
