Lindsay Miller is knee-deep in Christmas cards and homemade fudge, but she's never felt more like a Grinch. Why can't Christmas be full of magic, like in her favorite movie, A Christmas Carol?
Enter Fred, a sexy and eccentric stranger who arrives at Lindsay's door out of the blue. Dressed like he just stepped out of a Dickens novel, complete with British accent, Fred claims he's a Messenger, sent from "Headquarters" to help her discover the joy of Christmas. But is Fred an angel from above—or just stone cold crazy?
Fred's used to dealing with skeptics. Telling a stranger you've been ordered to inspire holiday cheer is a tough sell. But there's a further complication. Fred's mission is to help Lindsay right the wrongs from her past that have been holding her back. But somehow along the way, they've become wildly attracted to each other—and falling in love is not part of the plan. Fred only has 'til the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve to guide Lindsay to the magical future she deserves—even if it's a future without him . . .
"A charming holiday story that combines the magic of It's a Wonderful Life with the warmth of A Christmas Carol." —Donna Alward, New York Times–bestselling author of The Jewell Cove series

Donovan packs this contemporary romance full of all kinds of Christmas magic: friendship, goodwill to colleagues, family, and forgiveness. Lindsay goes all out for Christmas each year with gifts, homemade fudge, and holiday cards, but the entire holiday season for her is just one giant to-do list that’s never finished. Enter Fred, the heavenly messenger sent to teach her the joy of Christmas, including playing Christmas carols, putting up all the decorations on a real tree, and going ice skating on a frozen lake. Fred doesn’t quite know what his assignment is, but falling in love with uptight, guilt-ridden Lindsay isn’t it. Will she get past her baggage and learn his lesson before it’s too late? All the elements of a Christmas romance are present, with a wary heroine slowly coming to trust the heaven-sent hero who’s almost too perfect to be true.
