"...it's a great story...for anytime reading." -Amazon Reviewer Police Officer Joey Frost has her hands full this Christmas in Carol Falls, Vermont. A vandal is painting the town red, green and every color in between, plus someone left baby Holly in the manger of the town's Nativity display and no one has a clue who, or where, her mother is. But Joey can handle it all . . . until a snow storm blows Noel "Fletch" Fletcher back to town. Joey and Fletch have a history. But he's no longer the cute boy who kissed-and-dismissed her in high school. He's grown into a dangerously attractive man-who also nabbed the promotion Joey was gunning for. When the Police Chief assigns them to work together, Fletch's by-the-book law enforcement style is almost as irritating as the resurfacing of their old attraction. Is Fletch trying to distract her from her career aspirations? Or is true love going to be her surprise Christmas gift this year? The Holly & The Ivy is one of three linked stories set in the small rural town of Carol Falls, Vermont. The FROST FAMILY & FRIENDS series began as a trilogy of Christmas-themed stories. Now, at readers' request, you can look forward to more titles on www.amazon.com as the series continues.
