Blurb for Miracle at Holly Hill Inn

 

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….

 

 

Excerpt A: Miracle at Holly Hill Inn

 

Matt looked at the woman. Her back was to him, but she slowly turned. She was wearing one of his mother’s Christmas aprons, which immediately set him on edge. Dusted with flour or powdered sugar or something, she also had a stripe of blue icing on her cheek—which if he would admit to himself, looked kind of cute. He was fairly certain that her shoulder-length blond hair didn’t normally sport a streak of green sprinkles. But it was the rolling pin she held in her hand like a weapon, that wasn’t quite so charming. Plus, she was staring hard at him, and….

 

“You,” she said.

 

“No, it’s you,” he countered.

 

Kat, his sister, looked from one to the other. “You two know each other?”

 

“We’ve met. If you could call it that.” Then, changing the subject and dismissing her, he glanced off. “Did you say something about dinner?”

 

Kat looked none too pleased, and he would be happy to simply leave the subject alone, and the festivities in the kitchen, and find something to eat.

 

“There’s beef and noodles in a crock on the buffet, along with rolls and a salad. Help yourself. We’ll be along as soon as we wrap up a few things here.”

 

He glanced again to the woman. What was it about her that pleasantly irritated him?

 

Abruptly, she stuck out her hand. “I’m Ariana, by the way. We’ve not really been properly introduced.”

 

He stared at her hand, sugar and dough and all, but didn’t take it. “Just call me Scrooge.” He headed for the dining room.

 

“I think I already did.”
