Description from the publisher:
Christmas is a time for…fruitcake.
Rookie reporter Emma Collins hates fruitcake; for that matter, she hates
Christmas, too. When three Washington State women are finalists in a national
fruitcake contest, the story is assigned to her. That's bad enough. It gets
worse when she has to fly in a small plane (scary!) with a smart-aleck pilot
named Oliver Hamilton (sexy!) and his scruffy dog (cute!). In the end she meets
three wise women, falls in love and learns There's Something About
Christmas.
This is also a time for families,
for togetherness, for memories. On Christmas Eve, Maryanne and Nolan Adams tell
their kids the story they most want to hear—how Mom and Dad met and fell in
love. It all started when they were reporters on rival Seattle papers…and next thing
you know, Here Comes Trouble!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two novellas from one of the queens
of romance. Two fabulous love stories of
stubborn pride and the fear of allowing yourself to fall in love.
Something About Christmas: Emma doesn’t
celebrate Christmas. She has no family,
so she feels she has nothing to celebrate.
She’s tired of writing obituaries, so she’s excited when her boss
finally gives her a “real” story to write.
A series of articles about the three ladies from Washington state who
are all finalists in national contest from a magazine. Then she finds out that she will have to
fly,… in a small plane,… and the pilot is the ultra-sexy-and-he-knows-it
Oliver. Emma wants nothing to do with
his smooth pick-up lines, his hot looks, or his scary plane. Oliver has his work cut out for him, but he
knows that the walls of defense that Emma has built around herself will fall
and they will both win.
A feel-good Christmas hug with a
sleigh full of laughs
Here Comes Trouble: All Baily and
Courtney want for Christmas is a puppy.
Instead, Maryanne and Nolan share their good news. These sweet girls are going to become big
sisters to a new little boy in a few months!
This leads to the telling of how Maryanne and Nolan met and fell in
love. This time, it is our hero who is
the reluctant love. Nolan has loved a
rich girl before and he was burned badly when she left, so when he meets the
fiery reporter from a rival newspaper who is the daughter of the publication
empire, he wants nothing to do with the feelings he has tumbling through his
heart. They become friends, of a sort,
but there is always the sexual tension between them. They both recognize it, but Nolan is fighting
against it for fear of loving again, until he finds that losing someone is
worse than never loving them at all.
How I Met Your Mother was …. worth it!
