Sometimes all we need is to believe.

Ariana Angelo’s blog specializes in “all things Christmas, all year long.” While traveling New England searching for the perfect Christmas village, she lands in Dickens amid the town’s Christmas festivities. She’s delighted and giddy with holiday cheer and a can literally feel the magic of the season in her bones.

Matt Matthews, owner of the century-old Dicken’s Hardware, despite all the Christmastime holiday hoopla, dislikes the season. He’s all about regular business—not a holiday ornament or tree trimming bauble to be found in his store. The holiday triggers unwanted memories, so he avoids the festivities—and the people—as much as possible.

Until one incredibly insistent tourist refuses to accept that he doesn’t believe….

Read an Excerpt

Taking her hand had been bold of him—and to be honest, it was such an impulsive act that had he thought about it, he wouldn’t have.

But he was glad he did.

It had been a long time since he’d held any woman’s hand, and the feel of Ariana’s small, soft hand in his was nice. Very nice. In fact, holding her hand was pleasant enough that he slowed his steps as they approached the landing to the attic, and was semi-reluctant to let go when they got there.

But just as quickly as he’d grabbed it, he let go.

The attic door creaked as he pushed it open. Moving past the threshold, he yanked an overhead pull string and light flooded the area. But before he could move farther inward, Ariana grasped his arm and stopped him.

“Matt?”

“Hm?”

“What was going on with Aimee? Seemed like more than a bad dream.”

He perused Ariana’s face. Her expression appeared full of concern and worry for his niece, and that touched his heart. Who was this woman who had suddenly burst into their lives? Someone who had him in the attic looking for Christmas decorations and felt genuine concern for his family?
