This Christmas, the producer of a small-town holiday
spectacular is swept away by a handsome Hollywood director.
Being stranded in a snowstorm offers a couple a second
chance at a future together. And an American in London helps
a brooding Brit put the ghosts of Christmas past behind him.
Wherever you are, however you celebrate, this collection of
three festive novellas will bring warmth to your holiday season.
Edited by Angela James, this anthology includes:
Tinsel My Heart by Christi Barth
Becca Huntley's produced the Lyndale Park Players'
over-the-top Christmas show for ten years. It's a beloved
Minneapolis tradition, and the theater's main fundraiser.
But this year's production is in danger of being canceled
when their director disappears into rehab. Good thing his
directing partner steps in to save the day. Except for the
minor fact that he hates everything about Christmas.
Jack Whittaker wiped this town off his shoe with his
graduation tassel and never looked back. But duty compels
him to fulfill Tyler's promise to direct the show. Even
though it means working with Becca, the girl he always
wanted, lost to Ty, but never forgot.
It'll take more than a few handfuls of tinsel to soften
Jack's heart toward Becca's favorite holiday. Steamy kisses
that melt the snow right off his boots are a step in the
right direction. They'll both discover that Christmas is
about making each other's dreams come true. But will it
require sacrificing their chance at a happily-ever-after
together?
Season of Second Chances by Brighton Walsh
When a storm strands Claire Hanlin in Chicago on Christmas
Eve, the last person she expects to come to her rescue is
Logan Dawes, the man she almost married two years ago. The
chemistry between them is dangerously potent, but with
nowhere else to go, Claire accepts Logan’s offer to stay
with him for the night.
Back in the home they shared, surrounded by reminders of
Logan and his young daughter, Claire begins to realize how
much she misses the family she almost had. And after a few
cups of Christmas cheer, she falls right back into her ex’s
arms—even though she knows it means setting herself up for
heartbreak all over again.
The magic of the season has thrown him together with the
woman he’s never stopped loving, and Logan’s not about to
pass up this gift. He’s not the workaholic he was two years
ago—his family comes first. Now all he has to do is prove it
to Claire, before the snow stops and she flies out of his
life for good.
Mine Under the Mistletoe by Kat Latham
Thanks to a transatlantic house swap, California girl Ashley
Turner is finally going to fulfill her lifelong dream of a
proper English Christmas. Her holiday plans did not include
a sexy stranger climbing into her borrowed bed in the middle
of the night. But in the light of day, Ashley can’t help but
wonder if Santa has delivered early…
Game designer Oliver Stansfeld can’t wait to leave dreary
London—and all its difficult holiday memories—for sunny San
Diego. But a freak ice storm and a grounded plane have
forced him back to his already-occupied flat. To make up for
the mix-up, the least he can do is show his pretty
houseguest where to get the perfect Christmas tree before he
leaves.
The more time they spend together, the more their attraction
grows, and soon Ashley is tempting Oliver to give in to the
spirit of the season and snuggle up for the rest of the
winter. As the ice melts and flights start taking off again,
he must choose between giving in to the past or risking his
heart on a chance at love.
