A Novel

"Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a Sheila Roberts story." --Susan Wiggs on A Little Christmas Spirit Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma, this joyful Christmas romp tells the story of a meddling widow who can't stop trying to help everyone around her find their happily-ever-afters--even when all her help leads to disaster. Fifty-year-old widow Frankie Lane knows what's best for...just about everyone but herself. Her divorced younger sister, Stef, who is too young to give up on love; her shy employee, Elinor; and her daughter, Natalie, who works in Frankie's shop, Holiday Happiness, and really needs to start her own business selling the delectable chocolates she makes at home; even her best friend, Viola, who is trying to renovate her old Victorian. Frankie knows she could help all of them, if they'd just let her--and if all of her help didn't end in utter disaster. Then there's Mitch Howard, the owner of the local hardware store. They've been friends ever since she opened her store, nine years earlier. He got her through the nightmare when she lost her husband in a freak accident four years earlier, and he's her favorite shoulder to cry on. He's been divorced for years, and it's such a waste of man! Mitch is the fittest fifty-eight-year-old Jackie knows. He's easygoing, wise and kindhearted. Mitch needs someone. And she's determined to help him find that someone--whether he likes it or not.

Please don't come home for Christmas... Julie Parker's kids are her greatest gift. Still, she's not exactly heartbroken when they ask to skip a big Christmas. Her son, Nick, is taking a belated honeymoon with his bride, Blair, while her daughter, Dana, will purge every reminder of the guy who dumped her. Again. Julie feels practically giddy for one-on-one holiday time with Heath, the (much) younger man she's secretly dating. But her plans go from cozy to chaotic when Nick and Dana plead for Christmas at the family cabin in memory of their late father, Julie's ex. She can't refuse, even though she dreads their reactions to her new man when they realize she's been hiding him for months. As the guest list grows in surprising ways, from Blair's estranged mom to Heath's precocious children, Julie's secret is one of many to be unwrapped. Over this delightfully complicated and very funny Christmas, she'll discover that more really is merrier, and that a big, happy family can become bigger and happier, if they let go of old hurts and open their hearts to love.

Amanda Taylor isn't a fan of Christmas, but as the owner of a local soap shop, ignoring the holiday season isn't an option. To forget the pain of Christmases past, Amanda focuses on making the season bright for her customers at the Shelter Springs Holiday Giving Market. But when her beloved grandmother, Birdie, starts dating the dashing new resident of the Shelter Inn retirement community, Amanda smells trouble. Fortunately, Rafe Arredondo, the grandson of Birdie's charming suitor, is equally dubious of the match. Unfortunately, he's just as fiery as his grandfather--and Amanda has zero interest in getting burned. As a single father, paramedic and assistant fire chief, Rafe has more than enough on his plate. Sure, he and Amanda share a common goal in keeping their grandparents apart. Still, that doesn't mean he should allow himself to feel as drawn to her as he does. Even if she is great with his young son. Even if she does help the burden of his own painful past feel a little lighter... But when their paths keep crossing at the holiday market, it starts to feel like fate, prompting them both to wonder if taking a chance on love might gift them everything they've been wishing for.

Brwnd new, never read. Looking for a great home 

An emotionally powerful roller coaster of a novel about losing and finding love, perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover and Lucy Score. Six months after her husband died in a car crash, Mina Drake is still mired in a haze of grief. Reminders of her years with Michael are everywhere, but beneath her heartache lies an even more painful emotion. It's a guilty suspicion she can hardly admit to anyone, even herself--that her marriage was over long before Michael's accident. They were good together once, she's sure of it, sharing a connection so deep that Mina can't understand how it unraveled. That is, until a chance discovery in her husband's office--and the reappearance of Michael's estranged brother, Grayson, a notorious bad-boy photographer--awakens her to possible answers. More shocking still is the pull Mina feels to tattooed, scarred Grayson, who's nothing at all like the man she married. But as feelings stir to life again, so do secrets, changing everything she thought she knew about her marriage, and about the risks and rewards of loving with no limits...
