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 seasonβs 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 Nicoleβs chilly stepdaughter, Kennedy, who arrives without a hint of holiday spirit. Determined to keep her stepmother at armβs lengthβor, better yet, out of the picture altogetherβKennedy schemes to sabotage Nicoleβs 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
Itβs Christmas time and Felicia has returned to her familyβs 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 Feliciaβs dream at all; itβs what her mother, Jilly, wants. Worried that her daughterβs 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 Jillyβs 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.
