"[Thayne's] books are wonderfully romantic, feel-good reads that end with me sighing over the last pages." --Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author



Celebrate the season with this sparkling and heartwarming holiday romance that proves sometimes all you need is a little Christmas magic...



Employed as the live-in caretaker of Angel's View Ranch, Annelise McCade is just trying to make it through the holidays with both her sanity and her niece's and nephew's faith in the magic of Christmas intact. The six-year-old twins recently lost their mother, so Annie tells herself it won't be a problem to bring them to her workplace. The Sheridans haven't visited Angel's View in years, not since the patriarch, Wallace, died. They would never know the twins were there...until Tate Sheridan shows up out of the blue two weeks before Christmas.



But Tate surprises Annie by asking them to stay and help him get the house ready for one last family Christmas before the ranch is put on the market. Annie and Tate have three days to work their magic before the Sheridan clan arrives--and to work through the growing attraction between them. But Annie simply can't fall for the man who's about to put her out of a job and a home. Still, the sparkle of the season is impossible to deny...and this Christmas has surprises in store for everyone.



Return to Hope's Crossing this Christmas in New York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne's latest heartwarming story of matchmaking at the holidays, All is Bright!

Patricia Pearson

Even in a tiny apartment, there were enough rooms for Frannie to get into trouble... First, there was the bedroom...where it all began in such a casually romantic way. Next, the bathroom...where things took a suspicious turn. Finally, the living room...where she picked up the phone and prepared to break the news to the boyfriend she barely knew... When Frannie Mackenzie got sick all over the sweater section of a major urban retailer, she couldn't quite believe that this was a reaction to gray being this year's black. So she went back to her postage-stamp-sized apartment and took inventory. Jeans tighter? Yes. Boobs bigger? Yes. And the absolute proof-positive...the stick had turned blue. Frannie decides to give up cocktails, late nights, and anything else fun that the big city has to offer. But one thing -- or rather person -- she's not sure she's going to get to keep is the surprised father in the situation -- an experimental jazz musician with the improbable name of Calvin, who'd taken off to Europe before Frannie figured out parenthood had awkwardly united them. Falling in love was the last thing that Frannie expected, and the happiest surprise of all.

Rumaan Alam

A Novel

“A sparkling debut.” (People) “The perfect summer read... pitch perfect and wise” (Elle) “Smart, sharp, and beautifully made, Rumaan Alam’s portrait of two childhood best friends transitioning into their adult lives is vividly rendered, set against a tantalizing background of moneyed New York City that is impossible to resist.” (Emma Straub, author of The Vacationers) As close as sisters for twenty years, Sarah and Lauren have been together through high school and college, first jobs and first loves, the uncertainties of their twenties and the realities of their thirties. Sarah, the only child of a prominent intellectual and a socialite, works at a charity and is methodically planning her wedding. Lauren—beautiful, independent, and unpredictable—is single and working in publishing, deflecting her parents’ worries and questions about her life and future by trying not to think about it herself. Each woman envies—and is horrified by—particular aspects of the other’s life, topics of conversation they avoid with masterful linguistic pirouettes. Once, Sarah and Lauren were inseparable; for a long a time now, they’ve been apart. Can two women who rarely see one other, selectively share secrets, and lead different lives still call themselves best friends? Is it their abiding connection—or just force of habit—that keeps them together? With impeccable style, biting humor, and a keen sense of detail, Rumaan Alam deftly explores how the attachments we form in childhood shift as we adapt to our adult lives—and how the bonds of friendship endure, even when our paths diverge.
