Book Description
Book One- Searching to find a home where she belongs, Charlotte Monroe finds herself in the small town of Noel where Christmas is celebrated year round. Upon arrival, Charlotte embraces the hope that Noel inspires, as she believes the answers to her prayers of finding her parents might actually happen. After moving in and out of foster homes and ending up in an orphanage until she was old enough to leave, Charlotte longs for a place she can call home. Yet, discouragement and disappointment become her way of life as she realizes that even St. Nick is of no help to her. What's worse than losing all faith now, Charlotte must deal with a new boss who is a complete Christmas fanatic. Charlotte can only hope that he quickly realizes, as she did, that life is always the same in Noel. Nothing ever changes, and the charm of the town eventually disappears. Sawyer Jackson feels like a kid again as he makes the move to his new life of celebrating Christmas every day. His plan is to find a wife and start a family in the cheerful little town. He knows exactly what he is looking for in his lifetime companion and after meeting Charlotte, he can guarantee it's not her. Charlotte is irresponsible, the life of the party, unstable and is not wife material in the least. However, Sawyer feels sorry for her when he learns of her being an orphan. Sawyer sets out to help give Charlotte the one thing she has always wanted - a family. Will Sawyer be able to put his search for a wife on hold to pursue Charlotte's desires of finding her parents? Can Sawyer look past Charlotte's rough edges and defensive exterior to find the real her? Will Sawyer be able to accomplish this task on his own, or will he need to enlist help from the one person who knows everything? Book Two- January- Annie Campbell had no desire to move from Texas to Noel, a town that celebrates Christmas year-round. If her entire family hadn’t moved, she would have stayed put. Now, she has found herself in a fake relationship trying to prove to Charlotte, her long-lost sister, that she is not the boss of her. The problem is she’s dating the town’s flirt. The guy has never had a serious relationship in his life, so how is she going to convince everyone he’s committed to her? Preston Haze was attracted to the new girl in town but she wanted nothing to do with him until it worked in her favor. He wasn’t sure if she was as cold as she first seemed to be. However, as he got to know her, he realized her honesty about his weaknesses might prove to be true. Will she be the first woman to win his heart? Enjoy the lighthearted banter in this sweet inspirational romance that will leave you with a smile on your face. Book 3- February- Willow Campbell was smitten with her boss. She knew it was silly because he never even looked her way. However, she couldn’t control her feelings. Well, that is, until she found out his secret. Now, it didn’t matter if her heart fluttered in his presence. He was off limits, and she had to come to terms with it. Timothy Brown thought his life was exactly how he wanted it to be. His focus was on work and more work. That’s all he had time for. When out of the blue, he started noticing his employee. Because of his past, Timothy was hesitant to pursue Willow. When he finally threw caution to the wind, his past caught up with him. Will Willow and Timothy be able to move forward with their relationship even when someone from Timothy’s past shows up? No longer can they ignore what happened. It’s time to face the truth regardless of the cost.

Christmas from the Heart
Author: Sheila Roberts
Publisher: MIRA
ISBN: 1488056102
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
A Scrooge-like executive clashes with a smalltown charity director in this charming holiday romance by a USA Today–bestselling author. Olivia Berg’s charity, Christmas from the Heart, has helped generations of families in need in Pine River, Washington, but this year might be the end of the road. Hightower Enterprises, one of their biggest donors since way back when Olivia’s grandmother ran the charity, has been taken over by Ebenezer Scrooge the Second, aka CFO Guy Hightower, and he’s declared there will be no more money coming to Christmas from the Heart. Guy is simply being practical. Hightower Enterprises needs to tighten its belt, and when you don’t have money to spare, you don’t have money to share. You’d think even the pushy Olivia Berg could understand that. With charitable donations dwindling, Olivia’s Christmas budget depends on Hightower’s contribution. She’s focused her whole life on helping this small town, even putting her love life on hold to support her mission. When Guy’s Maserati breaks down at the edge of the Cascade foothills, he’s relieved to be rescued by a pretty young woman who drives him to the nearby town of Pine River. Until he realizes his rescuer is none other than Olivia Berg. What’s a Scrooge to do? Plug his nose and eat fruitcake and hope she doesn’t learn his true identity before he can get out of town. What could go wrong? Praise for Christmas from the Heart “The literary equivalent of watching It’s a Wonderful Life with a mug of hot chocolate and a plate of cookies.” —The Booklist Reader “A deftly crafted and delightfully entertaining novel from the pen of an author with a genuine flair for originality and the creation of memorable characters.” —Midwest Book Reviews

Twelve Days of Christmas

Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Continuing in a festive annual tradition, Debbie Macomber returns with a new original holiday novel full of romance and cheer—and the magical prospect of finding love in the most unexpected places. Friendly and bubbly, Julia Padden likes nearly everyone, but her standoffish neighbor, Cain Maddox, presents a particular challenge. No matter how hard she’s tried to be nice, Cain rudely rebuffs her at every turn, preferring to keep to himself. But when Julia catches Cain stealing her newspaper from the lobby of their apartment building, that’s the last straw. She’s going to break through Cain’s Scrooge-like exterior the only way she knows how: by killing him with kindness. To track her progress, Julia starts a blog called The Twelve Days of Christmas. Her first attempts to humanize Cain are far from successful. Julia brings him homemade Christmas treats and the disagreeable grinch won’t even accept them. Meanwhile, Julie’s blog becomes an online sensation, as an astonishing number of people start following her adventures. Julia continues to find ways to express kindness and, little by little, chips away at Cain’s gruff façade to reveal the caring man underneath. Unbelievably, Julia feels herself falling for Cain—and she suspects that he may be falling for her as well. But as the popularity of her blog continues to grow, Julia must decide if telling Cain the truth about having chronicled their relationship to the rest of the world is worth risking their chance at love. Praise for Twelve Days of Christmas “Another heartwarming seasonal [Debbie] Macomber tale, which fans will find as bright and cozy as a blazing fire on Christmas Eve.”—Kirkus Reviews “Twelve Days of Christmas is a delightful, charming read for anyone looking for an enjoyable Christmas novel. . . . Settle in with a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate, and curl up for some Christmas fun with Debbie Macomber’s latest festive read.”—Bookreporter “If you’re looking for a quick but meaningful holiday romance that will be sure to spark a need inside you to show others kindness, look no further than Twelve Day of Christmas.”—Harlequin Junkie “Twelve Days of Christmas is a charming, heartwarming holiday tale.
