Holiday | Romance

Leaving Tiffany's in N.Y. with his daughter, 8 year old Daisy, in tow along with a newly purchased $20,000 diamond solitaire, Ethan Greene is on the cusp of proposing to his girlfriend, Vanessa. The three have traveled from their home in London, with Ethan expecting the surprise proposal to be a Christmas gift. Daisy's deceased mother always told her the greatest gift of love came from Tiffany's. Gary Knowles has also visited Tiffany's after buying his girlfriend Rachel a last minute gift; a charm bracelet for Christmas. Except for a taxi hitting Gary and Ethan assisting at the sight with CPR, everything might have gone according to both of their plans.

As Rachel is waiting for Gary to be released from the hospital to return home to Dublin, her interest is peaked at discovering the famously known little blue box from Tiffany's found among Gary's packages from the day he was injured. Instead of the intended bracelet, a solitaire is found instilling excitement at the knowledge he is going to propose. Likewise, when Vanessa opens the box with a bracelet, Daisy and Ethan are completely baffled. Everyone returns home before realizing how the switch occurred, and forcing Gary to feel he has to propose. This is the beginning of uncovering the events of that day and Ethan going to Ireland to find his ring. With both women being kept in the dark, the lies and secrets begin to mount, showing Gary's true colors when he finally, in a drunken stupor, admits his deceit to Rachel's friend and partner, Terri. Terri's interference at helping Ethan recover his ring is to spare the lovely Rachel heartbreak, but backfires in the worst way possible. Daisy believes fate has played a part in their lives and Rachel is "the one" for her father. But.....fate does not always come as expected or wanted!

This is a very delightful and intriguing tale of fate changing the lives of two couples and an adorable child who wants a family of her own. An unfortunate accident in N.Y. switching 2 little blue boxes changes lives and helps those involved to re-evaluate what they want. A GIFT FROM TIFFANY's is such a beautiful and nostalgic story of love and fate! I could not put this book down until I had turned the final page! Melissa Hill is an author with a rare talent of transferring the character's emotions to the reader. Expect a real twist at the end. I truly loved this story which left me with a heartwarming and loving feeling. My interest is peaked now and I will definitely read more from this author.

SUMMARY

In A Gift from Tiffany's by Melissa Hill, New York City at Christmas and a visit to Tiffany’s is a recipe to sweep a girl off her feet—unless fate has other plans . . .

When Ethan Greene lost his wife to cancer, he never thought he would be able to replace her… until one woman stepped in and showed him how to be happy again.  Now, on a romantic Christmas trip to New York City, he has a plan to show Vanessa just how important she is to him, and maybe even give his daughter, Daisy, a complete family again. He’s going to propose with a perfect ring from Tiffany’s.

Gary Knowles and his girlfriend Rachel are on the trip-of-a-lifetime in New York, at the most magical time of year. The only thing missing is Gary’s gift for Rachel. On a last-minute Christmas Eve visit to Tiffany’s, he quickly picks out a charm bracelet for her, and heads back to their hotel. But, in a moment, one small mistake changes everything.
