The Christmas Gift

A long-lost family secret. A mysterious missing locket. And a quiet Alaskan town with a story to tell…

Heartbroken and alone just weeks before Christmas, when the tough mountain woman Noel Peters discovers a mysterious note from her late Granny, she’s drawn to the icy world of northern Alaska on the hunt for old family secrets. An empty reservation awaits her in the remote winter wonderland of North Winds, where she’s determined to begin her search for a mysterious long-lost locket.
John Winters is a man tormented by grief over his wife’s death and tired of life, the middle-aged journalist spends most of his time cooped up in the North Winds cabin. But when he bumps into Noel, it reignites a spark that he’s been missing for a long time.
Dead-set on unearthing her family’s past and praying for a Christmas miracle, Noel quickly falls in love with the cozy town and gets to know its quirky residents – from the jolly baker to the smart-mouthed local teen and the mysterious unnamed stranger who nearly scares the life out of her.

Can Noel solve a generations-old mystery…and maybe even find love along the way? Or will she just end up with a lump of coal in her stocking?
