(Mass Market Paperback)
The holidays just don't get any merrier than this! This original collection features three stories full of love and laughter and Christmas cheer, including "Holly's Christmas Plan," about a woman whose quest to win back her ex-boyfriend ends with an unexpected Christmas gift; "The Christmas Honeymoon," in which a pair of exes reunite for a temporary (and frankly fake) holiday honeymoon in Las Vegas; and "A Baby for Christmas," about two quirky pals who find themselves sharing more than a kiss under the mistletoe.
"Once Upon a Christmas is a delightful collection of three holiday stories by Lisa Plumley. The heroes are the type that I wouldn't mind finding under my Christmas tree!"
More Reviews and RecommendationsWhen she sat down to write her first book, Lisa Plumley expected the process to be easy. Three tries and several years later, she realized it's not easy, but it is the most fun to be had outside of shoe shopping. Now the bestselling author of more than a dozen books, Lisa lives in sunny Arizona with her husband and two children.
