When Henris boss makes it clear shell be starting the New Year unemployed unless she can close a big deal before the holidays, Henri impulsively tells him that she can convince her aging parents to sell Wegnerstheir iconic Frankenmuth, Michigan, Christmas storeto a massive, soulless corporation. Its the kind of deal cool, corporate Henri has built her career on. Home for the holidays has typically meant a perfunctory twenty-four-hour visit for Henri, then back to Detroit as fast as her car will drive her. So turning up at the Wegners offices in early December raises some eyebrows: from her delighted, if puzzled, parents to her suspicious brother and curious childhood friends. But as Henri fields impatient texts from her boss while reconnecting with the magic of the store and warmth of her hometown, what sounded great in the boardroom begins to lose its luster in real life. Shes running out of time to pull the trigger on what could be the greatest success of her careeror the most awkward family holiday of her life. Includes the bonus novella Christmas Angels
