On Christmas Eve

The loveliest gift of the year-the new Christmas novel set in the beloved town . Lucy and Charlie''s relationship has been on the rocks but just as Lucy''s about to call it quits a runaway teenager crosses her path. It turns out this girl has been shuffled from home to home and has decided to make her own destiny-landing in Cape Light. Lucy takes her in despite Charlie''s protests. This could be the thing that makes or breaks their frayed relationship... . With a grown son embarking on his own life and an ex-husband starting a new family Betty realizes it''s time to find a partner of her own. Then Santa bears an unexpected gift at the Rotary Club''s Christmas party: himself. Beyond the red suit and the padding she notices a twinkle in his eye. Has the holiday cheer gone to her head or is she really attracted to a struggling magazine writer who plays dress-up? But things aren''t always as they seem especially in Cape Light-and unless Betty realizes that good things come in different packages she risks Santa passing over her this Christmas.
