Long time widow Sandy Forbes is breaking out this Christmas. In her 71 years on earth she has stuffed and cooked 55 Christmas turkeys, baked hundreds of pies, turned out thousands of shortbread cookies and hoisted enough pine trees in her living room to reforest the Amazon.
Her family love her. They come to her for every occasion, eating, drinking, squabbling and then leaving her with a mass of dishes and crumpled holiday wrap.

But this is the year everything changes. When she wants someone else to take over for one year, the family lays a big guilt trip on her and Grandma rebels. Sandy’s giving herself a gift this Christmas. She’s running away from home for the holidays.

Cover Description:

2 Brothers + 2 Sisters + 0 Electricity = 1 Unforgettable Holiday

Casey’s got a ton of work to do over the holidays. But her sister’s stuck with a broken heart and a nonrefundable vacation for two, so Casey agrees to celebrate Christmas at a rustic Adirondack lodge—as long as she can bring her laptop and work through the festivities.

Matt’s happy to take a break from his high-pressure city job to celebrate Christmas at his off-the-grid childhood home. He and his brother are helping with their aunt’s Romance of Christmas weekend, even though the couples-only guest list means all work and no play.

When one of the “couples” unexpectedly turns out to be two sisters, Matt’s brother calls dibs on the hot one—leaving Matt to deal with a quirky, work-obsessed woman who he’s sure would rather get cozy with an electrical outlet than with him.

Good thing there’s no electricity at Dutch Gorge Lodge. Because sometimes you have to turn out the lights to see what’s right in front of you.

When not on the road, her life is spent with boyfriend Will Currier, a man who could pass for a Calvin Klein model.

She seems to have it all. The perfect job, perfect home, perfect man. But all of that would become unsettled when she returns home for the holidays without Will, who was, as usual, strapped down with work.

Joanna returns to Maine to her overbearing family, all of whom are wondering where her longtime boyfriend is. After all, Joanna and Will have been dating for four years and they’ve yet to meet mysterious Will due to his inflexible schedule.
