Book Four of the Orchid Island series! It's Christmastime on the island. Paisley and Ivy have finally opened their bed and breakfast to guests and, since it's Christmastime, they decide to go all-in with the Christmas theme. Every night, their guests are treated to Christmas songs around the piano, board games around the fireplace and a lovely Christmas buffet filled with delicious traditional food. Everybody is encouraged to wear "ugly sweaters" and, by day, the guests toboggan, ski and snow board down the hills. But one person not feeling it is Nicole, Paisley's foster daughter. Nicole is still very scarred from her upbringing and doesn't feel that she belongs in a house full of revelers. Can a Christmas miracle convince Nicole that there is still magic in the world? Or maybe Pete, the sweet and shy fellow pastry chef, can bring her some Christmas cheer. Or maybe Paisley herself can bring the one thing to Nicole that she'd been missing - a real home. Join the gang as they celebrate Christmas at Ivy and Paisley's bed and breakfast. You're invited to spend Christmas with Ivy, Paisley and the friends and family they love. Happy holidays!
