The Christmas House (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231422142)

All it took for Ally to return to Yuletide Creek was the end of a twenty-one-year marriage and the death of her dear grandma who left her the Christmas House.

Ally is tasked with returning the Christmas House to its former glory and carry on her grandma's traditions of holiday contests, toy drives and much more. But there is one clause in grandma's will which makes her pause for cause: that her dad will be the sole person to make all repairs to the house. After his refusal to walk her down the aisle all those years ago, there is bound to be awkwardness and the inevitable "I told you so" when she returns to Yuletide Creek divorced.

Maybe she's in way over her head trying to restore the house and the Christmas spirit to a town near derelict- all the while facing off with a woman who seems hell-bent on sabotaging Ally's efforts at every turn because she wants the top spot.

Throw in the Grinch of a mayor who is adamant that a tree for the town square and any other decorations is a waste of town funds, her unexpected attraction to the man, her determination to make him see it's worth and you're in for an unforgettable holiday.
