New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe presents a heartwarming, uplifting novel about two long-time co-workers who seem unlucky in love. But this Christmas may give them a surprising chance to find themselvesโand each other . . .
With a successful career, money in the bank, and a solid future, Felicia Hawkins has almost everything she ever wanted. But getting married is the one holiday wish she canโt seem to get. And itโs not helping that sheโs hopelessly in love with her co-worker, widower Richard Grimes. They have the perfect office partnership, and heโs as supportive as he is kind. But Felicia doesnโt want to wreck their friendship by letting him know how she really feels . . .
ย
Richard has his hands full juggling pre-Christmas work demands and raising two teen daughters. But heโs not too busy to wish his relationship with Felicia could become much more. Heโs drawn to her calm spirit and determination, along with everything they surprisingly have in common. And just once heโd like a chance this season to dare tell her the truth . . .
ย
But what Felicia and Richard get instead is a cascade of misunderstandings; messy, well-meaning matchmaking from family and friends, and a long-distance transfer Richard canโt refuse. Finally, in the middle of one chaotic snow-struck day, it will take all their courage and compassion to risk opening their hearts to each otherโhopefully for many more holiday happily-ever-afters . . .
