Two interconnected feel-good holiday stories featuring the Big Easy Brothers family and friends

 

THE GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS

 

Christmas is only days away and Cath Guidry, French Quarter ghost tour guide, wants to find a special gift for her husband, Mitch. When his Aunt Edi hands her his damaged, but cherished, wristwatch, she knows repairing the expensive timepiece will make the perfect gift. Then she has a run-in with a purse snatcher, and her treasured good luck necklace gets broken. Mitch offers to repair the chain, intending to create his own memorable gift for Cath. But how will they keep their gifts a secret when Mitch vows to stick to her side through Christmas?

 

NEW YEAR, NEW LOVE

 

When her ex-boyfriend proves impossible to shake, French Quarter cocktail waitress, Rhonda Owens, calls on the handsome New Orleans police detective she met at the Guidry Christmas dinner. Widower Tony LeNoux never expects to find love again, but Rhonda sparkles like a diamond and makes him want to believe again in a happy ever after. Can they put their pasts behind them in time to celebrate New Year's Eve?
