"...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.
