Where people find each other, even if they didn’t know they were looking. A Family for Christmas When Zoe finds Abby, a lost child, all she wanted was to help locate the girl’s parents. But her search embroils her with a chilling crime scene, a handsome stranger, and Percy, a mysterious social worker. A Life for Christmas As an undercover narcotics detective, Cade knew about the dark side of humanity. He’d seen the worst of the worst, and thought he was immune to almost everything. But when he gets a reassignment by the very high-up management team just in time for Christmas, he doesn’t know if he can get the job done. Adjusting to the new job means adjusting to Percy, his new partner, a graying man that Cade isn’t even sure is sane, much less partner material. A Christmas to Always Remember Percy is back, and he’s here to help Will and Tessa as they navigate their recovery. But can he help Dahlia, too, before she makes a mistake that costs her both her home and her soul? A Different Kind of Christmas Survival is key for those left behind, and Hope is struggling to care for her family while she waits for her husband to return. Will she take the chance to bring her children to safety in a new land? And with everything so different, will there still be a way to have Christmas?
