The Christmas Night Miracle

By Carole Mortimer

The man who brought some mistletoe magic to a single mum's life

Most people dream of a white Christmas. But for Meg, this Christmas could have done without snow! She'd crashed her car in a blizzard and was forced to seek the kindness of a stranger.

World–famous novelist Jed Cole clearly wasn't delighted to have single mum Meg and her little boy forced upon him. In fact, he was only too keen to take them on the last leg of their journey. But more freezing temperatures and a white–hot attraction later, and Meg and Jed found themselves sharing Christmas Day together–and watching a special festive miracle unfold!
