Noelle
Joy stopped celebrating Christmas ten years ago, when Trevor Holden skipped out
on their long-planned Christmas Eve wedding. He destroyed her trust in men,
crushed her belief in God, and left her cynical about love. Gone is the bright,
cheery spirit of the girl she thinks of now as “the first Noelle.” Stronger and
savvier, the new Noelle would never
be found waiting at the altar for a groom who didn’t show.
When
a famous-but-mysterious architect commissions her to decorate his mansion for a
holiday event, Noelle finally returns to her hometown. Even as she finds an
unexpected peace in facing ghosts from the past, her fiercely private client
disturbs her. Michael Holliday is kind and considerate, but far too
handsome…and hauntingly familiar.
Holliday
didn’t choose Noelle to make his home a Christmas wonderland by accident. She’s
the only one who can do the job he has in mind—and once she’s in his mansion,
he never wants to let her go. But he’s hiding a secret that could destroy any
chance of a relationship with the beautiful decorator.
A false
persona. A shattering secret. Can love break down these insurmountable walls?

Noelle:

I've read about 5 Christmas books so far - probably my favorite has been either Debbie Macomber or Linda Lael Miller
Cheryl in IL
Sounds like you love Christmas books as much as I do! I also enjoy Debbie Macomber. Thank you for stopping by!
I love Delia Latham's books! Her book Kaylie's Kiss was the first book i ever won on a blog, this blog as a matter of fact. :) Don't think I've read any Christmas books this year... I'm a bit slow at times, i love reading, but then there are times when i just don't get time to read. I think the last Christmas book i read was last Christmas when i read the 21 days of Christmas, put together by you (LND) and some others. I loved it! Actually i meant to read it again this year, but guess i forgot, wouldn't hurt to start late, right? ;)
Abigail in Clarksville VA
Lena, thank you so much for letting me hang out and talk about my book! I always enjoy being on your blog.
Btw, Merry Christmas!!!
Hi, Abigail! It's wonderful to "see" you. So glad you enjoyed Kylie's Kiss. I think you'd love The First Noelle - I sure had fun writing it. :) Merry Christmas to you too! (By the way, didn't you recently get married??? Congratulations!)
I've only read one...Lowcountry Christmas. I'm not very quick with my reading. I've got too many other things to do. And, I read too slow. This one sounds really good and I don't need to read Christmas books at Christmas time.

I read Restoring Christmas by Cynthia Ruchti and I am now reading Givers of Wonder by Roseanna White. Both are wonderful books but this sounds great also!
Merry Christmas!

You're right, Linda - Christmas books are great any time of year! :)
Both Cynthia and Roseanna are wonderful authors, Connie! You chose well. :)
I only read a couple of Christmas books this year.
Dianna in TN
You know, I haven't read one Christmas book yet. I need to change that!

I would love to win a copy of this book. It sounds great. Thank you for the chance.
Susan in Texas
Sounds like a good Christmas read!

I have read I think 4 this Christmas and it is so difficult to pick a "most favorite." But thinking about it, I think I'll choose one from a year or so ago - "An Endless Christmas" by Cynthia Ruchti. Your book, "The First Noelle" really sounds fun. I love the sweetness of Christmas Novellas.
I am in central North Carolina and would love to read and perhaps even review your book.
I have read a few Christmas books this year. This sounds like a good book! Merry Christmas!
Beth in Montana
Savingsinseconds...Christmas stories are uplifting any time of year. It's never too late. I hope you'll make mine the third book you read this year! 😀
Melanie, you can't let the year end without taking time to read at least one! 😀 There's just something so special about Christmas stories, and many of them (like mine) are short...and always sweet. Give yourself a blessing!
Susan, good luck in the drawing! What part of Texas are you from? I'm a newbie Texan. Lived in Quitman a couple years, but I'm originally from Californua. Lovin' East a Texas though!
ACookingBookworm, I think The First Noelle is a "good Christmas read." I sure had a great time writing it...and there's a little something extra in there, not usually found in a Christmas romance... 😀
Beth, I hope you've enjoyed the Christmas books you've read this year. I always enjoy them. Plus, hubby and I enjoy the Hallmark Christmas movies, and watch (and re-watch!) them every year. Thank you for visiting, and good luck in the drawing!
Gorgeous cover. New author to me and sounds good.
love chirstmas reading. thanks for the chance to win live in ND
Thank you, Karen! My editor/publisher, Nicola Martinez, designed the cover. She always does a beautiful job. Thank you for stopping by!
Good luck in the drawing, apple blossom!
Enter me in your awesome giveaway!!
Conway SC.
Yes, tomorrow will be 4 months! :D Thanks!
Haven't read any yet this year but going to look for one today. The First Noelle sounds like a great read.
