āSparkles with warmth, wit, and a sweet helping of holiday charm! The perfect stocking stuffer for readers who crave all the holiday feels and a happy ending!ā āRachel Linden, bestselling author of The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie
Inspired by Jane Austenās Emma, this joyful Christmas romp tells the story of a woman who canāt stop trying to help everyone around her find their happily-ever-afterāeven when her help leads to disaster.
Frankie Lane knows whatās best for just about everyone but herself. Her divorced sister, Stef, who is too young to give up on love; her shy employee, Elinor; and her daughter, Natalie, who works in Frankieās shop, Holiday Happiness, and really needs to start her own business selling the delectable chocolates she makes at home; even her best friend, Viola, who is trying to renovate her old Victorian. Frankie knows she could help all of them, if theyād just let herāand if all of her help didnāt end in utter disaster.
Then thereās Mitch Howard, the owner of the local hardware store. Theyāve been friends ever since Frankie opened her store, nine years earlier. He got her through the nightmare when she lost her husband in a freak accident, and heās her favorite shoulder to cry on. Heās been divorced for years, and itās such a waste of man! Mitch is the fittest, finest man Frankie knows. Heās easygoing, wise and kindhearted. Mitch needs someone. And sheās determined to help him find that someoneāwhether he likes it or not.
