I'll Be Gnome for Christmas — Susan M. Baganz

Gigget Wicket is finding life tough since her husband died, leaving her with two little kids. Her marriage wasn' t the best, so she isn' t seeking a man to rescue her even though many days she feels like a damsel in distress.

Twice betrayed, Bing Twinkle still longs for what he believes he can never have -- a happy family. Between factory work and serving in the Army National Guard, he keeps himself so busy that usually he doesn' t have time to experience the loneliness.

When the two meet, sparks fly even while past hurts make them both cautious. But Gigget' s children are praying for a dad who' ll make them and their mother happy. With the holidays approaching, could a Christmas miracle be in the works?
