Synopsis:

Jude Deveraux, the dazzling New York Times bestselling author of Wild Orchids and Forever and Always delivers a delightful and passionate yuletide tale sure to become a classic this and every holiday season.

Hollander "Holly" Latham can't believe her good fortune. A relentless campaign by phone, letter, and email has persuaded Hollander Latham's parents to purchase the home of her dreams: Spring Hill, a beautiful North Carolina plantation where Holly spent her memorable thirteenth summer.

Now a successful architect, Holly is intent on reuniting with Spring Hill's neighbor and her love from that long-ago summer, wealthy heir Laurence Beaumont — she dreams of working her way into Lorrie's heart while restoring his historic estate, Belle Chere.

But as Christmas fast approaches, Nick Taggert — a mysterious stranger who makes her laugh and tempts her with a surprising passion — turns her plans upside down. One man can seduce her with fortune and privilege; the other can promise her the simple gift of love.

And on a frost-covered Christmas night, Holly's choice will unmask astonishing truths and hidden dangers — revelations that will forever change her charmed life and her vulnerable heart.

In 2013, Jude was recognized by Romantic Times with the Pioneer Award, a special recognition given to her as a pioneer in the romance genre.

Besides writing, Jude loves to travel the world and photograph her adventures. She swears she writes better on a cruise ship than she does on land.

When she’s back in the States, Jude lives in South Florida in a house filled with art from around the world. If she’s not traveling — and writing — she can be found in her comfy writing chair, in her screened-in patio, or driving around in her MINI Cooper.
