And Drew, the man just as lost as her, is no help; a self-proclaimed champion of everything Christmas, Drew's Santa-hat-over-heels in love with the very holiday Rory has hated all her life.

This is the story of Rory's Christmas, of how a pessimist met an optimist and decided that maybe the world isn't so bad after all.

At twelve, her father left his family in the dust. At twenty-five, her husband gave his secretary a pre-Christmas bonus in bed, and Macy gave him the boot. To put things lightly, men have been undependable. That's why dating's off the menu. Macy is focused on putting herself through law school -- which means being the delivery girl for Papa's Pizza. But cheesier than her job is her pie-eyed brother, who just recently escaped from prison to protect his new girlfriend. And hotter than Texas toast is the investigating detective. Proud, sexy...inflexible, he's a man who would kiss her just to shut her up. But Jake Baldwin's a protector as much as a dish. And when he gets his man -- or his woman -- Macy knows it's for life.

But her lips were red, her eyes sultry and a line of freckles ran across her nose. The contrast of both severe and soft features made her striking.' In the deepest parts of England, beyond the knowing of many, Robert Clarke is dragged into a world of weirdness and wonderment. Read how he meets the ghost girl and fights to save his family.
