A Home for the Holidays
Emilie Richards

Chloe Palmer knows about Christmas wishes—too many of hers didn’t come true as a young orphan. Now, as an orphanage director, her mission is not to disappoint any of the children in her charge. When Egan O’Brien arrives to do repair work at the facility, the guard she’s kept up for so many years begins to crumble—until he offers to play Santa Claus for the kids. What if it doesn’t work out? He tells her he’ll make all her wishes come true. He’s made so many miracles happen already—can he rebuild her sense of Christmas spirit…and her belief in love?
