A heartwarming romance about what it takes to bring a little holiday spirit to the grinchiest of skeptics—and how one small town with an abundance of Christmas magic can bring two people together.
Bah, humbug.
Christmas is not the most wonderful time of the year for Charley Dawson. After writing a column suggesting readers cancel Christmas, she's sent on assignment to St. Nicholas, Colorado, home of the Scrooge Legend. The legend says that any "Scrooge" who enters the town will end up loving Christmas as much as Santa does. She'll go, she'll prove the myth wrong, she'll have a fantastic new column. Easy as mincemeat pie.
Detective Jack Brody assumed the Scrooge Legend was just that—a legend. A free stay in the picturesque town seems too good to be true, so he heads to St. Nicholas to investigate. Once there, he finds a winter wonderland, a group of kind but suspiciously closemouthed townspeople...and his high school sweetheart, Charley. He's more than happy to team up with her, especially when it might mean a second chance with the only woman he's ever loved.
As Charley and Jack go dashing through the snow to find the truth, they rediscover all the reasons they were a great couple. Of course, in the town of St. Nicholas, Colorado, there are plenty of someone's little helpers to bring people together with comfort and joy when they need it most...

With this wholesome Christmas romance, McKenna (No Such Luck) reunites high school sweethearts in a magical small town. After blogger and self-professed Scrooge Charlotte “Charley” Dawson writes a post bashing Christmas, she receives a mysterious invitation to spend a week in picturesque St. Nicholas, Colo. Upon arriving in the Christmas-obsessed town, a vast difference from her native Southern California, she’s shocked to run into her high school boyfriend, Jack Brody, whom she hasn’t seen in 14 years. Now a detective in Denver, Jack has been sent to investigate the town for potential cult activity due to a pattern of Christmas-hating people visiting and returning to their lives with heaps of holiday cheer. He’s also searching for his uncle, Bill, who mysteriously disappeared 20 years earlier, and hopes a Christmas miracle will lead to a breakthrough in the case. Charley and Jack reconnect, and through their eyes, readers will fall in love with this tiny town. McKenna ties the mystery, magic, and romance together with a neat bow as she guides her characters to their happily ever after. The result is a modern fairy tale that’s sure to enchant.
