RaeAnne Thayne "Snow Angel Cove"

Another great RaeAnne Thayne book. In this book we meet Aidan Caine, brother to the Caines in Raeanne's series Hope's Crossing, and Eliza Hayward.
Eliza and her daughter Maddie move to Snow Angel Cove so Eliza can work as a manager at a hotel, but upon arrival learn their future has gone up in smoke. The hotel has burned to the ground. Eliza meets Aidan when she shoves Maddie out of the path of Aidan's SUV. Aidan hits Eliza who loses consciousness. She wakes up before the paramedics arrive, but she is still taken to the hospital. She has bumps and bruises and a headache. She wants to drive back to Boise but the Doctor disagrees, Aidan comes to the rescue. He asks her to stay with him, which she reluctantly accepts.
Maddie falls in love with the house, the caretakers Sue and Jim, Aidan's horses, and the Christmas tree they decorate.
Eliza is a widower, her husband Trent, was developing an app, he hoped to sell to a big company. He is denied and calls Eliza telling her he is going to a bar for a drink. She gets a call later that Trent has died in a one car accident. Eliza wonders if it was an accident, he was drunk, or if he committed suicide. 
Aidan had some health problems. He suffers from migraines because of it. His family doesn't know. His father was getting married and going on his honeymoon, so Aidan went to the doctor on his own. He tells his family what happened at christmas.
Maddie also has health problems, different from Aidan's. We only hear of her problems a few times in the book so pay attention.
Aidan invited his family and their spouses and children to Christmas. He hires Eliza to be his housekeeper and to help him with his families Christmas, complete with a sleigh ride through the snow. 
Aidan finds Trent's app details and contacts his code writer and his own team and produces the app. He shows Eliza and tells her what he is doing and gives her a check. She is so happy she cries and tells Aidan she loves him. He tells her he loves her and he proposes. Maddie and Aidan's dad catch them kissing. 
There was no epilogue, I want to know if Eliza had children, if they moved to Hope's Crossing to be with his family, and what happened to the icy patch that caused the accident where Aidan and Eliza meet. I will anxiously await for more books from this series.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
