MERRY'S CHRISTMAS

Truly a Merry Christmas!

Merry Mattson has come a long way in her life—from poor and unwanted child to successful musician.

One of her few ties to childhood is her continuing friendship with Holden Drake. He'd been not only her best friend but the first boy she fell in love with; now he's a wealthy and decidedly cynical divorce lawyer in California. Out of long habit, Merry visits Holden every Christmas—although they both insist that Christmas means nothing to them.

This Christmas is different, though. Because Merry's engaged and she won't be joining Holden in California. Holden's convinced that she's making a mistake—and he decides to join her in Minnesota instead.
