Book Description
Indulge with these irresistible and heartwarming Christmas romances by USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan! Once Upon a Christmas Includes The Doctor’s Christmas Bride and The Nurse’s Wedding Rescue. A Christmas wish… Bryony’s daughter has put a dad on her Christmas list. That leaves Bryony with one month to find the perfect man, so this year she’s wishing for a miracle! While she’s looking for love, her best friend Helen is doing the opposite. Helen's Christmas wish is to forget all about the white dress hanging in her wardrobe—and her faithless rat of a fiancé. Helen and Bryony’s festive cheer definitely needs a boost, so it’s lucky that once upon a Christmas, wishes really do come true… Wish Upon a Star Includes The Christmas Marriage Rescue and The Midwife’s Christmas Miracle. Love is in the air this Christmas! Christy wanted to skip Christmas this year. But her kids have their dad’s name at number one on their Christmas list, so Christy is heading to the Lake District to play happy families with her ex! Alessandro’s home is like walking into a Christmas card. Is it really safe for her to spend Christmas with her dreamy, funny—no!—entirely infuriating ex-hubby? For Miranda being single and pregnant at Christmas is certainly not her wish come true. She doesn’t believe in miracles, but then resident hunk Jake sweeps her off her snow-covered shoes. Dare she dream that Mr Sex-on-Legs might be for more than just Christmas? Angels in the Snow Includes Christmas Eve: Doorstep Delivery and Snowbound: Miracle Marriage. The perfect Christmas… Daniel is dreadful at tinsel, fairy lights and families. Put in charge of his brother’s kids, he panics. Surely, he can’t ask Stella for help? It used to be her favorite season, until Daniel began—and ended—their engagement on Christmas Eve. Still, Stella can’t refuse a desperate plea. The children deserve the best Christmas ever! Meanwhile, Hayley’s regretting her impulsive response to a job advert. But too late, the door is opening to reveal a rather cross—but impossibly sexy—man. Patrick hadn’t advertised for a housekeeper...Still, Hayley might be the perfect gift. His son Alfie and his little sister are no angels, but they know a lot about the magic of Christmas—and they’re about to teach the grown-ups a much-needed lesson! Christmas with Love Includes Dr. Zinetti’s Snowkissed Bride and Italian Doctor, Sleigh-Bell Bride. The magic of Christmas!
