A Very Nantucket Christmas: Two Holiday Novels Nancy Thayer

Publisher Marketing: Celebrate the holidays with "New York Times" bestselling author Nancy Thayer in this festive collection featuring two heartwarming tales set on Nantucket island. "A Nantucket Christmas" As sweet and warm as a fresh-baked cookie. "RT Book Reviews" The Yuletide season s wonderful traditions are much loved by Nicole Somerset, new to Nantucket and recently married to a handsome former attorney. But the cheerful mood is soon tempered by Nicole s chilly stepdaughter, Kennedy, who arrives without a hint of holiday spirit. Determined to keep her stepmother at arm s length or, better yet, out of the picture altogether Kennedy schemes to sabotage Nicole s first Christmas with her new husband. Yet, in the season of miracles, holiday joy has a way of coming to all, both naughty and nice. "An Island Christmas" Thayer vividly depicts the joys and frustrations of family life against the beautiful Nantucket backdrop. "Library Journal" It s Christmas time and Felicia has returned to her family s home on the island to marry her rugged boyfriend, Archie. Every snow-dusted street and twinkling light is picture-perfect for a dream wedding. Except a lavish ceremony is not Felicia s dream at all; it s what her mother, Jilly, wants. Worried that her daughter s life with daredevil Archie will be all hiking and skydiving, Jilly embarks on a secret matchmaking campaign for Felicia and their handsome neighbor Steven Hardy. With the arrival of Jilly s older daughter, Lauren, fueling tensions, and the family careening toward a wedding disaster, an unexpected twist reminds everyone of the true meaning of the season."
