~It's all about the miraculous spirit of Christmas~Miracle Circle, Book 2 If you enjoy Hallmark small town holiday specials, you'll love Stephany Tullis' made-for-the-big screen larger-than-life characters!  Mayor Luke Evans and Deputy Mayor Jocelyn Lopez promise Smoothville, Georgia residents a Christmas celebration like none other in order to heal their broken city torn apart by the recent mayoral election.  After all, everyone loves Christmas. What better way to mend ill will? Luke resolves to do whatever it takes to regain the trust of Smoothville citizens and even more importantly, his wife and friends. He charges his team to plan an event that will put Smoothville on the map; — and of course, make his citizens forget about last year's fiasco. Newly appointed Smoothville City Manager and an award-winning project manager, Angelica Mason, agrees to undertake the massive project but only after conferring with Lopez—Luke's rival and nemesis.   When Angelica's faithful sidekick and well-known political strategist, Jonathan Jarewski, aka JaRew, takes on the role of lead assistant, the holiday event takes on a life of its own.  One modeled after NYC's annual tree lighting at Rockefeller Center. As Christmas approaches, JaRew discovers someone's out to sabotage Smoothville's Christmas Extravaganza. And he's determined to identify the culprit. Smoothville residents' tempers flare when rumors circulate that the mayor never planned to deliver on his promise. Angelica convinces Luke and Jocelyn they need a special SWAT team to identify the Grinch in their midst.   Is the community right? Is Luke the undercover Scrooge? The SWAT team and Smoothville residents work around the clock to salvage Smoothville's Christmas celebration. Christmas music, holiday food and festivities, and a few angelic hosts make this Christmas novel a holiday favorite; a beautiful story about the magic of Christmas, the strength of family and friends, and the power of forgiveness. 48 Hours 'Til Christmas by USA Today bestselling women's fiction author Stephany Tullis.It's all about the miraculous spirit of Christmas. Other Holiday Stories by Stephany TullisLove Rescues (The What Love Can Do Series, Book 2)Love, Peace & Joy: An Inspirational Holiday Romance Collection
