A struggling single mom. Her lonely boss who hates Christmas. As they rediscover the magic of the holiday, will they also find love?

Christmas hasn't been the same for Allison Voss since losing her husband, but she's determined to make it merry for her daughters' sake. She's between jobs and simply managing day to day is a struggle until she meets Ward Haysgard. His act of kindness and offer of employment just might turn her luck around.

Ward is not a fan of Christmas. As a district manager for a large department store, he's seen plenty of greed and selfishness and not much good will toward men. But Allison's plight touches him. As he gets to know her and her girls, they work their way into his heart. A heart he thought had hardened long ago, when he lost the loving grandmother who raised him.

As the holiday approaches, an old secret from Ward's past emerges and threatens his closeness to Allison. Will he leave her heartbroken? Or will she and Ward discover together what makes Christmas real?

Having lost her husband just before Christmas a year before, Alison gets a job at the local up scale department store. Her kindness and care makes customers and co-workers like her. But when she learns all seasonal employees will be let go January 13th, the few items shed put on layaway for her 6 and 9 year old daughters have to be returned. Finding a job had been difficult for her and shed have to budget every penny she made to stretch her earnings as long as she could into the new year. Though broken hearted to have nothing for the girls for Christmas, she made herself think of the things she could do for them.
A very sweet novel I recommend to all.

A cute Christmas story. So nice to read a sweet story. Tired of the same mixed and crossed storyline this one was a welcomed change. Wish it was longer though.

Intriguing characters with real life problems

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

A inspiring romance with down to earth characters facing contemporary life challenges. Single mom Allison trying to provide for her family and make Christmas memories. Christie Logan is a talented writer - a page turning with just enough description and interaction of characters. As a mom and grandma I could relate to Allison's struggles when money is tight.
