There's Something About Christmas

Perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy – Candis

Emma Collins has always believed that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who love fruitcake and those who dont.

Shes firmly in the second category, so its ironic that her first major assignment for the Puyallup, Washington, Examiner is a series of articles about. . . fruitcake. At least its a step up from writing obituaries. Her task is to interview the finalists in a fruitcake recipe contest, and that means traveling around the state. Actually. . . flying around the state.
Local pilot Oliver Hamilton, whos starting an airfreight business, has agreed to take her wherever she needs to go, in exchange for free advertising. Unfortunately Emma hates small planes — almost as much as she hates fruitcake. But in the weeks leading up to Christmas, Emma falls for Oliver (whos not quite the Scrooge he sometimes seems) and his mutt, Oscar (whos allergic to her perfume, which makes him sneeze repeatedly).
And she meets three wise women who know a lot about fruitcake — and even more about life. It all reminds her that theres something about Christmas. Something special. . .
