The 24 Days of Christmas
by Linda Lael Miller

A holiday miracle to remember . . .

A matchbox advent calendar first brought Frank Rayner and
Addie Hutton together. But that was years ago. Since then
Addie has written herself out of her father’s will,
gotten herself blacklisted as a reporter, and had her
husband leave her for a younger woman. The only good
decision she seems to have made is to move back home, even
if Frank now owns that home and is renting the apartment
over the garage to her. Not that she thinks there's anything
there. There’s no reason to get wrapped up in the
holiday cheer. Because Christmas miracles are for the
movies. Real life is about unexpected families—and the
magic of true love—and could there be a happy ending
after all?

Originally publsihed November 2004 within the mass market

Linda Lael Miller's Bio

The daughter of a town marshal, Linda Lael Miller is a #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author of more than 100 historical and contemporary novels, most of which reflect her love of the West. Raised in Northport, Washington, Linda pursued her wanderlust, living in London and Arizona and traveling the world before returning to the state of her birth to settle down on a horse property outside Spokane. Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher's Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, mysteries and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007. Hallmark Movie Channel is developing a series based on Linda's Big Sky Country novels. Her latest book, Forever a Hero, a March 21, 2017 HQN Books release, is the third in her Carsons of Mustang Creek series. Her first mainstream Civil War novel will be published in May 2018. Dedicated to helping others, "The First Lady of the West" personally financed fifteen years of her Linda Lael Miller Scholarships for Women, which she awarded to women 25 years and older who were seeking to improve their lot in life through education. She anticipates that her next charitable endeavors will benefit four-legged critters.
