“No way, Mr. Giovannozzi. I promise you, I’m not going to let you or our daughter out of my sight.”
“I’ll hold you to that, Mrs. Giovannozzi,” he said, then passed Caroline to Charles. Not caring who saw them, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her long and hard. There was no way she would ever let this man get away from her again.
Always and forever, she thought, as his kiss made her dreams come true.

SPIRIT OF THE SEASON
by Fern Michaels
Christmas is a time for remembering loved ones past and present. In this new novel by New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels, the holidays are also the time to discover a future that, like the perfect gift, is as satisfying as it is surprising . . .
Joy Preston misses her beloved late grandmother dearly. But when she learns the terms of Nana’s will, she’s shocked—and more than a little irked. Joy moved to Colorado years ago and is now CEO of a successful nail polish company. Her life and career are in Denver. How can Nana have expected her to give that up, even temporarily, to take over a bed and breakfast in North Carolina for six months?
Yet there’s no denying Heart and Soul’s charm, especially at holiday time. The B&B is always elaborately decorated for the season, with themed guest rooms and dazzling lawn displays created for the annual Parade of Homes competition. The entire town takes part in the festivities, and soon Joy, too, is joining in the gingerbread house contest and letting her reservations melt away.
There’s another special reason for Heart and Soul’s popularity. Rumor has it that, during the holiday season, guests can be reunited with the spirit of a loved one who’s passed on. Joy’s skeptical, yet she feels her beloved Nana’s influence all around her . . . perhaps even indulging in a little matchmaking between Joy and handsome estate attorney Will Drake.
A special homecoming and the glow of new beginnings will combine to make the holiday magical . . .
CUT AND RUN
by Fern Michaels
The Sisterhood: a group of women from all walks of life bound by friendship and years of adventure. Armed with vast resources, top-notch expertise, and a loyal network of allies around the globe, the Sisterhood will not rest until every wrong is made right . . .
It’s been three months since Countess Annie de Silva slipped away from her home before dawn, leaving a cryptic note and no clue as to her destination. That’s an eternity for friends as devoted as the Sisterhood. They’ve honored Annie’s request for privacy long enough. Now they’re desperate to ensure that their founding member is alive and well, and that means tracking her down—wherever in the world she might be.
Myra Rutledge, Annie’s closest confidante for many decades, has some ideas about that. She alone knows the secrets of Annie’s past, including the remote mountain in Spain where Annie spent some of the best—and worst—days of her life with her first husband, Count Armand de Silva. Myra is convinced Annie has gone back for some reason, but is it of her own free will, or is she being held captive?
Annie vowed that she’d never return to the mountain or the stunning monastery there. But the memories of the past have called her back. Now, she needs allies who are fearless, loyal, and willing to do whatever it takes to see justice done. And with the safety of one of their own on the line, the Sisterhood won’t let her down . . .
