Synopsis

Flying across Washington in pilot Oliver Hamilton’s plane to interview the finalists in a Christmas cake recipe contest, journalist Emma must tackle the two things she hates the most: fruitcake and heights.

But as the Christmas spirit starts to tingle, things take on a new spin. Oliver no longer seems the Scrooge he had initially appeared to be – and his dog, Oscar, can’t but bring a smile to Emma’s face. And once she’s back on snowy land, Emma’s nightmare might just have turned into dream. After all, there’s something about Christmas…

This book includes a sparkling bonus story of true love, mischief and unforgettable Christmas miracles.

From Publishers Weekly

A smalltown Washington reporter learns to love fruitcake in Macomber's chick-lit take on A Christmas Carol. Emma Collins ("kinda cute in an uptight sort of way") hopes that writing obituaries and selling ads for the Puyallup Examiner will lead to a journalism career. Instead, her first plum assignment—interviewing three finalists in a national fruitcake recipe contest—lands her in the cockpit of devil-may-care pilot Oliver Hamilton, whose good looks and charm remind her of her shiftless father. Despite Emma's fear of flying, Oliver takes her to Yakima, Colville and the San Juan islands to meet three women who all figure that when life gives you lemons (or anything else), make fruitcake. Emma tastes the thrice-married barmaid's liquor-laden concoction, the tender-hearted widow's chocoholic dreamand the struggling young mother's no-bake graham-cracker confection. While she tries to capture in print lessons learned from the three cooks, Oliver's plane is grounded by a snowstorm, Emma and Oliver kiss, she gets thrown out of her apartment trying to rescue a stray dog, he falls in the water trying to rescue her and she decides Christmas isn't as bad as she thought. It all adds up to another tale of romance in the lives of ordinary people, with a message that life is like a fruitcake: full of unexpected delights. (Nov.)
