I'll Be Home for Christmas

October 15, 2006
With stories ranging from gentle and homespun to sexy and action-packed and settings as varied as the semirural West Coast, midtown Manhattan, and steamy Miami, with a side trip to exotic Chichén Itzá, this anthology is easily one of the most diverse of the season. Miller starts things off with Christmas of the Red Chiefs, a heartwarming tale of a young widow who brings her rebellious stepdaughter home to the Sierra foothills and finds healing and love with a conflicted widowed father of two. Catherine Mulvaney continues with Once Upon a Christmas, a magical reunion story of stepsiblings. Julie Leto changes course with the story of a fiery Latina PR expert out to reinvent the image of a buttoned-up CEO in her steamy Meltdown. Roxanne St. Claire ties it all up with You Can Count on Me, her riveting tale of a Russian businessman and a neophyte bodyguard's dangerous search for a missing Fabergé egg.
