A Montana B&B owner butts heads with a confident millionaire in this gentle Christmas romance story by the author of Julia's Chocolates. Some people careen through life trailing chaos in their wake. Others get to pick up the pieces. Meredith Ghirlandaio is generally in the latter category, especially when it comes to her irresponsible sister, Leia. Leia's latest move: abandoning her two children while she runs off to rediscover herself. Meredith immediately steps up, bringing rebellious Sarah and withdrawn Jacob back to her hometown of Telena, Montana, where she opens a B&B. Despite the “Merry Meredith” nickname she earns from her guests, she's too wary—and too busy—to get involved with any man. Especially one like handsome, self-assured Logan Taylor. But Logan's not easy to shake, and makes it plain that he's drawn to everything about Meredith—her tough talk and her cowboy hats, her softness and her strength. Roped into chairing the Telena Christmas concert, Meredith brings townsfolk of all ages together to share stories, talents, and rehearsal potluck dinners. Little by little she's opening up too. And in between navigating the lessons of the past and acknowledging her own hopes for holidays yet to come, she's learning that all the gifts she really needs are right there, waiting—if only she'll claim them.Previously published in Holiday Magic“Lamb's funny, feisty Meredith, waitress in a Montana town, finds her aloofness tested by millionaire Taylor Logan in the bittersweet and tender “A Very Merry Christmas.”“ —Publishers Weekly
