Holiday Hearts

Two classic Christmas short stories—one a workplace romance and another a second chance at love—from #1 New York Times–bestselling author Susan Wiggs.

A FAIRYTALE CHRISTMAS

Ace reporter Jack Riley loves his job, or at least he did until Madeleine Langston took over as publisher for the Courier. The perfect blonde ice queen is a daunting presence in the newsroom and an irresistible distraction, despite Jack’s determination to avoid her as often as possible. But when a chance encounter with a stranger transforms Jack from a scruffy journalist into a debonair Texan in a tux, he suddenly finds himself at the center of Madeleine’s attention.

THE ST. JAMES AFFAIR

Elaine St. James has it all—a thriving career as an elite Manhattan publicist, A-list best friends and a gorgeous, high-profile boyfriend her parents adore. But when Byron breaks up with her on Christmas Eve, Elaine is faced with the prospect of spending the holidays alone . . . until Tony Fiore, the man she loved long ago, reappears like a ghost from Christmas past.
