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.

Book Description
“A heartfelt and lovely Christmas tale for book lovers everywhere!”—Jenny Colgan, author of The Bookshop on the Shore In small-town England, two booksellers facing tough times decide to spread some Christmas cheer through the magic of anonymous book deliveries in this uplifting holiday tale for book lovers everywhere. Nora and her husband, Simon, have run the beautiful oak-beamed book shop in their small British village for thirty years. But times are tough and the shop is under threat of closure--this Christmas season will really decide their fate. When an elderly man visits the store and buys the one book they've never been able to sell, saying it's the perfect gift for his sick grandson, it gives Nora an idea. She and Simon will send out books to those feeling down this Christmas. Maybe they can't save their bookstore, but at least they'll have one final chance to lift people's spirits through the power of reading. After gathering nominations online, Nora and Simon quietly deliver books to six residents of the village in need of some festive cheer, including a single dad of twins who is working hard to make ends meet, a teenage boy grieving for his big sister, a local Member of Parliament who is battling depression, and a teacher who's newly retired and living on her own. As the town prepares for a white Christmas, the books begin to give the recipients hope, one by one. But with the future of the bookshop still up in the air, Nora and Simon will need a Christmas miracle--or perhaps a little help from the people whose lives they've touched--to find a happy ending of their own....
