The Best Christmas Surprise

By Brenda Novak

Your Christmas wish come true! Enjoy this touching classic by New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak, originally published under the title Just Like the Ones We Used to Know in the 2006 anthology Once Upon a Christmas.

Angela Forrester’s foster child Kayla has just one wish for Christmas – to meet her real dad. Angela is determined to ensure Kayla gets her wish, even though Matt Jackson has no idea he has a child at all. When Angela meets Matt, she doesn’t have a chance to tell him about his little girl before sparks instantly fly between them, complicating matters. Will he turn tail and run when he learns the truth, or will he be the man and father they always dreamed of?
