In "Christmas of the Red Chiefs," a young woman returns to her hometown carrying the weight of a broken heart and secrets from her past. She cannot escape the memories that drove her away, but a widowed man in town might show her what home truly means. Catherine Mulvany tells the story of two people who flirted as teenagers but needed years and unexpected help to find each other again in "Once Upon a Christmas." Julie Leto creates sparks between a Cuban-American PR expert and her CEO boss in "Meltdown," where her job requires warming his cold public image. Roxanne St. Claire sets her story in New York, where a female bodyguard protects a mysterious man's young daughter while fighting her growing attraction to him in "You Can Count on Me." Four authors weave tales of romance, risk, and the magic that Christmas brings to matters of the heart.
