Synopsis: &“All the elements of a Christmas romance are present, with a wary heroine slowly coming to trust the heaven-sent hero who's almost too perfect to be true.&” —Publishers Weekly Lindsay Miller is knee-deep in Christmas cards and homemade fudge, but she&’s never felt more like a Grinch. Why can&’t Christmas be full of magic, like in her favorite movie, A Christmas Carol? Enter Fred, a sexy and eccentric stranger who arrives at Lindsay&’s door out of the blue. Dressed like he just stepped out of a Dickens novel, complete with British accent, Fred claims he&’s a Messenger, sent from &“Headquarters&” to help her discover the joy of Christmas. But is Fred an angel from above—or just stone cold crazy? Fred's used to dealing with skeptics. Telling a stranger you&’ve been ordered to inspire holiday cheer is a tough sell. But there&’s a further complication. Fred's mission is to help Lindsay right the wrongs from her past that have been holding her back. But somehow along the way, they've become wildly attracted to each other--and falling in love is not part of the plan. Fred only has &’til the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve to guide Lindsay to the magical future she deserves—even if it's a future without him . . . &“A charming holiday story that combines the magic of It&’s a Wonderful Life with the warmth of A Christmas Carol.&” —Donna Alward, New York Times–bestselling author of The Jewell Cove series
