The Heart of Christmas by Tara Taylor Quinn With her business sold and her family out of reach, Abby Hayden's at loose ends. But if Abby doesn't have enough to occupy her time, Dr. Nick Monroe has too much. So many people rely on him for help and guidance. No wonder Abby calls him St. Nick. Nick has a proposition for Abby, one he thinks will benefit them both. He persuades her to work at a home he's established for pregnant teens, girls who'll be giving up their babies for adoption. That's where Abby learns she has a special gift: she knows how to make these girls feel loved and valued, despite their mistakes, despite their fears and lost confidence. And she receives a special gift herself - her very own St. Nick. Not just this Christmas, but for all the Christmases to come! Her Secret Santa by Day Leclaire Mathias Blackstone is either Seattle's own version of Scrooge or Santa Claus... Mathias Blackstone has a reputation for ruthlessness. He's in the procurement business: whatever you want - gold, diamonds, secrets - he can get! But there's another side to his operation he prefers to keep quiet: every Christmas, Mathias Blackstone procures wishes.... But despite his ability to deputize for Santa, something is missing from Mathias's world, and has been since the death of his young son. Then he meets children's writer Jacqueline Randell. For one of his young clients, meeting Jacqueline Randell is a wish come true And the more Mathias Blackstone woos Jacqueline, the more he begins to suspect...that Jacqueline Randell is his Christmas wish, too!
