Celebrate the holidays with New York Times
bestselling author Nancy Thayer in this festive collection
featuring two heartwarming tales set on Nantucket island.
A NANTUCKET CHRISTMAS
The Yuletide season’s wonderful traditions are much loved by
Nicole Somerset, new to Nantucket and recently married to a
handsome former attorney. But the cheerful mood is soon
tempered by Nicole’s chilly stepdaughter, Kennedy, who
arrives without a hint of holiday spirit. Determined to keep
her stepmother at arm’s length—or, better yet, out of the
picture altogether—Kennedy schemes to sabotage Nicole’s
first Christmas with her new husband. Yet, in the season of
miracles, holiday joy has a way of coming to all, both
naughty and nice.
AN ISLAND CHRISTMAS
It’s Christmas time and Felicia has returned to her family’s
home on the island to marry her rugged boyfriend, Archie.
Every snow-dusted street and twinkling light is
picture-perfect for a dream wedding. Except a lavish
ceremony is not Felicia’s dream at all; it’s what her
mother, Jilly, wants. Worried that her daughter’s life with
daredevil Archie will be all hiking and skydiving, Jilly
embarks on a secret matchmaking campaign for Felicia and
their handsome neighbor Steven Hardy. With the arrival of
Jilly’s older daughter, Lauren, fueling tensions, and the
family careening toward a wedding disaster, an unexpected
twist reminds everyone of the true meaning of the season.
