This week, Susie Black’s Saturday Author Spotlight shines on romance author Ruby Hill.
About the author: Ruby Hill loves writing heartwarming small-town romances. Her stories often revolve around the magic of Christmas, capturing the essence of community, love, and holiday cheer. With a talent for creating charming characters and cozy settings, Ruby invites readers to escape into worlds where romance blossoms amid twinkling lights and falling snow.
One of Ruby’s best special takes on Christmas is with her holiday-themed Kisses in Prague (Christmas Market Romances). Here is a blurb to whet your appetite:
At Prague's snowy Christmas market, I discover something I never knew I was missing.
My research trip has a clear purpose: to spend two weeks exploring my late father's Czech heritage, then return to Boston, where my publisher and next deadline await.
The Christmas market is just another stop on my carefully planned itinerary. But when I meet the brooding glassblower who creates flawless ornaments and has little time for curious Americans, my orderly world begins to shift.
Jakub believes in precision and profit. I chase stories and magic.
He crafts what customers expect. I seek what the heart craves.
We're opposites in every way.
Yet when circumstances force us to work together on folklore-inspired glass ornaments, I glimpse the dreamer he's hidden behind years of responsibility. And he begins to understand that some traditions are worth preserving, not just for sale. With Christmas drawing near and my departure date approaching, I must choose: return to the comfortable life I know, or risk everything for a connection that feels like coming home to a heritage I'd lost and a love I never expected to find.
Here is what readers have to say about Kisses in Prague:
