Beschreibung

A senior diplomat traumatised by the violent death of his wife moves back to UK with his now fifteen-year-old, greatly distressed daughter to become Professor of International Relations at a new university. A high school teacher in a neighbouring town befriends the girl and remonstrates with her father at his overly protective care of her. A loving relationship develops as the teacher and the girl form a mutually strong bond of love. The book interweaves council debates full of frustration and conflict about renewal of the historic but declining small town of the action. The imminent closure of the local newspaper provides opportunity for caustic comment.

    From the bestselling author of Nearlyweds comes a Christmas romance filled with all the best parts of the holiday season. When your job is to make everyone else's Christmas wishes come true, who will grant your wish? 
    Christmas concierge Holiday Smith, known as “the Wish Granter,” procures impossible-to-find gifts for her elite clients. But after years of granting everyone’s wishes but her own, she promises her family that this year she’ll finally make it home for Christmas. Just one tiny glitch: a favorite elderly client begs Holiday to set up her grown granddaughter on a blind date with her old high school crush, tech-world escapee Alex Sappier… who is somewhere off the coast of Maine. 
    Famously private, Alex flatly refuses a date with an old classmate he doesn’t even remember. And there’s nothing this beautiful stranger can do to persuade him. Unless she’d be willing to cast her wish-making magic on his own Christmas family crisis? 
    Holiday has less than a week to rescue Alex’s family’s Christmas, arrange a Christmas Eve blind date, and get herself home before a blizzard closes the roads - or before she and Alex give in to the growing attraction between them. As Holiday teams up with exactly the right man at exactly the wrong time, can she find a way to make her own wish for love come true this Christmas?
