BOOK #1

After writing a column suggesting readers cancel Christmas, Charley Dawson is 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. Detective Jack Brody assumed the Scrooge Legend was just that-a legend. A free stay in the 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 closed-mouthed 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 at love. 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, there are plenty of someone's little helpers to bring people together with comfort and joy when they need it most.
