Go-getter and no-nonsense resort developer from the Big Apple, Madison Lane arrives in Christmas, Colorado to calm the residents down. After her boss's nephew has promised to turn their quaint little town into a tourist hot spot to bring in the revenue, her report against this action has them up in arms. She is a financial wizard and can prove it with her figures that the resort cannot be supported and will collapse within one year while opening up the picture perfect little town to crime and all the other things now absent that keep it endearing. Now she is labeled "the Grinch Who Killed Christmas" with bad publicity for her company. Her big entrance to town is by being rescued from a snow bound ditch after losing control of her rental and mowing down their Santa sign....and her rescuer is no less than the rugged hot sheriff, and divorced, Gage McBride.

Maddie certainly hadn't counted on a feisty and stubborn 70 plus year old lady, Nell; the sheriff's great-aunt and natural disaster creator. A simple one day stop turns into weeks as she is craftily trapped into staying, and surprisingly, it's with Nell, and also at the shifty old lady's beck and call. The further she becomes involved with Gage and his two daughters, Lily & Annie, the more she begins to see the lovely little town and residents as kindness, love and the true meaning of family---all things she lacked when growing up. When her feelings for Gage become complicated for the no-attachment gal, an ex-wife and country western celebrity shows up. But, does she really have it in her to save the town and fight for what she wants?

Celebrating the Christmas season with this wonderful community will put you in the spirit. If you're ready for true romance, emotion and that warm fuzzy feeling, this is the book for you. Debbie Mason knows exactly how to mix a little humor with a terrific romance that will keep you thinking about it for some time to come. This is one read you definitely won't want to put down. A real page-turner! I can't wait for the next story in this series.
