Hurry Home for Christmas — Robin Maderich

In this sweet, holiday romance, Eve Noel Nolan, disillusioned and downright cranky, heads home for Christmas to a hometown she describes as “‘It's a Wonderful Life' on a saccharine high.” Once there, she remembers why she has avoided the small town in Pennsylvania during the holidays as she is inundated by Christmas cheer and her gregarious, overwhelming family. After some seasonal manipulation by her good-intentioned mother, Eve becomes involved in activities she wouldn't be caught dead performing in Manhattan, only to discover a heartfelt connection to the past from which she has hidden and an undeniable attraction to a handsome man bearing an improbable name.
