“Sparkles with warmth, wit, and a
sweet helping of holiday charm! The perfect stocking stuffer for readers who
crave all the holiday feels and a happy ending!” —Rachel Linden, bestselling
author of The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie
Inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma, this joyful
Christmas romp tells the story of a woman who can’t stop trying to help
everyone around her find their happily-ever-after—even when her help leads to
disaster.
Frankie Lane knows what’s best for just about everyone
but herself. Her divorced 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 Frankie opened her store, nine
years earlier. He got her through the nightmare when she lost her husband in a
freak accident, 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, finest man
Frankie 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.
