Description
Decker Davenport is on a deadline. He has thirty days — Christmas Eve, to be exact — to remodel a St. Augustine Victorian house or the owner will put it back on the market. Not a good time for Decker's decorator to take off on a honeymoon, leaving him with Annalise Owens, a stand-in with a malaise he isn't privy to.
But as he watches Annalise work miracles on the house and his daughter, he realizes the two of them have bonded in some ethereal way, as if they've always known each other.
As Christmas Eve approaches, Decker still sees the curious malaise in Annalise's eyes. A haunting that even his kiss can't take away. What secret does the new woman in his house possess? And will learning Annalise's secret bring him and his daughter joy, or tear their world apart?

Instant Bonding…A Coincidence?
5By Kay 7072A touching tale of childhood wishes and adults in unexplained conflict. The well written plot to openly join mother with her long sought after daughter was a fast page turner of suspense until the truth was known and a well deserved happy ending was appreciated. A great story!Heartwarming Christmas Story

4By egganerA very good read, liked the characters and their humor. Writing a believable, precocious plot of a young child into the star of the book is great! Book has warmth, humor and love. We adopted our daughter when she was 22 months old and she celebrated her 20th birthday on December 20, 2022! We are a truly bonded family. Would have given 5 stars but I do not like open bedroom door dialogue.A Mother for Christmas

5By rjborThis was one of the best books I have read. It kept my interest. It was loving, funny at times, somewhat tense and the daughter a handful. But what an ending. I would definitely read it again. Thank YouYou Never Know When Love Will Strike

2By SMOKIE3914I have read up to chapter 3 & it was hard to get there, as I had went to playing a couple of games. I had to force myself to read to chapter 3. Then I just stopped, as I would have to force myself to finish it!
