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 seasonโs 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 Nicoleโs chilly stepdaughter, Kennedy, who arrives without a hint of holiday spirit. Determined to keep her stepmother at armโs lengthโor, better yet, out of the picture altogetherโKennedy schemes to sabotage Nicoleโs 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
Itโs Christmas time and Felicia has returned to her familyโs 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 Feliciaโs dream at all; itโs what her mother, Jilly, wants. Worried that her daughterโs 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 Jillyโs 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.
