About the book
Nicole Somerset, a newcomer to Nantucket and recently married to a handsome former attorney, thoroughly enjoys the wonderful traditions of the Yuletide season. However, her festive spirit is dampened by her cold stepdaughter, Kennedy, who shows up without any holiday cheer. Kennedy is determined to keep Nicole at a distance, or even better, out of the picture entirely, as she plots to ruin Nicole's first Christmas with her new husband. Despite Kennedy's efforts, the magic of the season brings joy to all, whether they are naughty or nice.
As Christmas approaches, Felicia returns to her family's island home to marry her adventurous boyfriend, Archie. The picturesque snow-dusted streets and twinkling lights are an ideal setting for a dream wedding, though Felicia's own dreams differ from her mother, Jilly's, extravagant plans. Concerned that Felicia's life with Archie will be filled with danger and excitement, Jilly sets out on a covert mission to matchmake Felicia with their charming neighbor, Steven Hardy. As tensions rise with the arrival of Jilly's older daughter, Lauren, and the family edges towards a wedding disaster, an unexpected turn of events reminds everyone of the true meaning of the holiday season.
