    About this ebook

    Emmy Doyle has had one heck of an emotional year. She's lost her mother, a cheating ex-boyfriend, and most of the money in her bank account. But she also fell in love with Blake Carter, her college sweetheart, all over again, so life isn't all bad. Except her best friend is moving across the country the week before Christmas. And Blake has been acting suspiciously. With Christmas right around the corner, Emmy isn't sure whether he's hiding gifts or something else.

    Enjoy this holiday short story, a follow-up to the popular first book in the Drake Isle series, and come back to the island just in time for a Christmas miracle.
