About this ebook

He'd like to be the man in her life, but she already has one-hundred-and-seven collectible Santa Clauses.

Ryan

I'm not a ho-ho-ho kind of guy. My brother and I were raised in foster care, and the closest thing we had to a father was a career criminal who'd sooner steal Christmas than save it. I followed in his footsteps, I'm ashamed to say, and did things for him that I regret.

Like taking a priceless Christmas ornament from a Colonial Williamsburg inn.

I’m trying to be a better man, and the first step is returning that ornament. Except I’m too late.

The owner passed away and left the inn to her granddaughter, Anabelle—a high-strung, Christmas-obsessed loner whose cat takes an immediate dislike to me.

But Anabelle needs my help. Her inn’s in trouble, and her ex is planning a hostile takeover. Besides…

I may have come to make amends, but I stay because I’m falling for the woman who loves Christmas. And I’m damn well going to save it for her.

Anabelle

When Ryan Langston booked a room in my inn and said he was staying indefinitely, I knew something was wrong.

No one stays indefinitely. Most people seem to be in a hurry to leave.

But the longer he stays, the less I worry about what brought him here…

Because this chaotic, charming man is exactly what my life’s been missing.

**A standalone Christmas romcom from the USA Today-bestselling author of Jingle Bell Hell and Matchmaking a Scrooge**

Ratings and reviews

Christmas is my favorite holiday so this book was right up my alley. I truly feel like this has been Angela's best series yet! I laughed, I cried, I was shocked by how many Santa's someone could own. 😂 When I say I cried, I legit shed some tears. While the story focuses on Ryan and Anabelle, it all starts with Anabelle's grandmother. I lost my own grandma a number of years back now, but it's still a sore spot for me and Grandma Edith was no exception. Ryan stole my heart from the very beginning of the book and honestly so did Anabelle. The heroine in a story doesn't always win me over right away, I think I'm just particular lol, but I liked Annabelle from the get go. Her ex boyfriend is trying to ruin her life and take over her family business, but Ryan won't stand for that. He's someone who isn't really into Christmas, but Anabelle and his new found friends change that real quick. He makes you swoon around every corner. You can't help but love him.
