The 24 Days of Christmas

A holiday miracle to remember . . .

A matchbox advent calendar first brought Frank Rayner and
Addie Hutton together. But that was years ago. Since then
Addie has written herself out of her father’s will,
gotten herself blacklisted as a reporter, and had her
husband leave her for a younger woman. The only good
decision she seems to have made is to move back home, even
if Frank now owns that home and is renting the apartment
over the garage to her. Not that she thinks there’s anything
there. There’s no reason to get wrapped up in the
holiday cheer. Because Christmas miracles are for the
movies. Real life is about unexpected families—and the
magic of true love—and could there be a happy ending
after all?
