Once upon a Christmas, she gave him her heart. This year, he'll have to win it back again . . . When Lucy Hannigan returned to her childhood home in Somerset Lake, one of the first things she did was join the local book club. And thank goodness, because now that Lucy’s first Christmas without her mother is bearing down upon her, she can use all the help and support she can get. Especially when she has to take in a tenant and the only person interested is Miles Bruno, her ex-fiance. Lucy’s friends keep teasing her about the way Miles is trying to make up for his mistakes but forgiving and forgetting isn’t coming easily to Lucy. With bills piling up and her mother’s finances in disarray, however, Lucy isn’t in any position to say no. As the small town prepares for the holidays and competition heats up in the Merriest Lawn decorating contest, Lucy can’t help feeling like a Scrooge.

Yet when Miles shows up with tons of tinsel, dozens of decorations, and lots and lots of lights, Lucy begins to wonder if maybe the spirit of the season will finally mend her broken heart.

Book excerpt: To save their small town from dying…they need a miracle…and some hot cocoa and cookies wouldn’t hurt, too. There comes a point of desperation when any idea becomes a good idea and Ashley Tanner is at the point where she’s desperate for all the good ideas she can get. For the past two years, Ashley Tanner has been trying to keep her promise to revitalize the small mountain town of Innsbruck, but it’s starting to look like she’s failing as mayor, and failure is never an option for her. She has one last ditch effort – but it’s going to take a lot of work and she’s not sure if she can convince everyone to give it a try. Rather than become a ghost town, why not become a town focused around Christmas – one of the most magical times of the year? Who wouldn’t love to visit a town where everything is holiday related – from a classic Gingerbread Tea House to a Candy Cane Lane Campground? Thankfully, those closest to her love the idea, but together, as a group, can they convince the rest of the town? Just when she thinks everything is coming together, things start to fall apart, not just in her own life, but in those closest to her too. Feeling responsible, while surviving the destruction of her marriage, Ashley tries to find miracles for everyone in her life – after all, Christmas is all about miracles, right? The promise of what Christmas can be to not only the town of Innsbruck, but to everyone close to her is the only thing keeping her going. Well – that and coffee. If you love Christmas as much as I do, you’ll end up wishing you could visit this tiny town for yourself. After all – who doesn’t love gingerbread houses, sugar cookies, hot cocoa and sleigh rides through a gorgeous mountain side village?
