Description

This collection of romantic holiday stories from the Ohio Valley Romance Writers of America runs from sweet to poignant, darkness-tinged to comedic, but in all, people find the hope of love, and joy in the holidays. Stories feature married couples and those newly-met, some whose lessons lie in the past, and even vampires... all of whom find happiness and peace when they come Home for the Holidays. "Coventry Arcade" is where Ben Whitaker is determined to get his beloved Lily the best gift very little money can buy in this homage to O. Henry's classic story "The Gift of the Magi." In "The Holly and the Ivey," Jon thought bells would be ringing a merry tune when he did a surprise Christmas visit but it turned out to be a Ho! Ho! Oh, no! instead. Aileen is frustrated when she has difficulties communicating with her mentally challenged brother. But Dr. Lew Bard shows her it's really just a matter of "Speaking the Language." There's magic in threes in "Triple Trouble for Christmas Eve." With her dying breath, the triplets' mother predicted they'd all find true love by midnight on Christmas Eve. Too bad Mom didn't specify which Christmas Eve. In "Merry and Bright," Alex and D'Vee discover that a cup of spicy tea and a pair of fine brown eyes can both be inspiring. The Christmas season is the perfect time to kindle friendships and create possibilities. Aiden Flynn is no Superman, but he does have a secret identity. And he just might be able to save Christmas for one young boy and his hardworking mom in "Silver and Gold." Vampire Katarina thought she was drawn to the mortal who refused her gift of immortality 45 years ago, but on her "Last Christmas Visit," she discovers the truth. Christmas can be murder when a trip back in time pits Taylor Gressman against a murderous street gang, but through a new friendship, she learns the greatest gift is in the giving in "Time's Holiday." In "No More Resolutions," Stella despises holidays. Now she has to find a husband for bosszilla, deal with a stripper pole in her house and work with Simon, the guy she loves to hate. Or does she?
