From the author of heartwarming small-town romances comes a story about the magic of Christmas, the bonds of family and friendship, and the value of cherished memories that last a lifetime.

What happens when postponed wedding plans, a grumpy mayor, and an unexpected guest collide just days before Christmas?

Grace thought this Christmas would be the most magical one yet—until a sudden change in town leadership puts her beloved holiday traditions at risk. With her wedding postponed and the role of interim mayor filled by a man who proudly considers ‘Scrooge’ his mentor, Grace must rally the town—and her own hope—to save the season.

But just when things seem like they can’t get any more complicated, an unexpected guest arrives, throwing a wrench into her carefully laid plans. With Christmas Eve approaching, Grace discovers that sometimes the best gifts are the ones you never saw coming.

Full of charm, holiday spirit, and heartwarming surprises, Countdown to Christmas Eve is a feel-good story about second chances, small-town magic, and finding joy even when everything fails to go according to plan.

From the Desk of Dianna Houx, Author, The Holiday Countdown Series

Dear Reader,

It’s hard to believe an entire year of holidays has passed! We have now come full-circle with Countdown to Christmas Eve, and I cannot be more excited to share this book with you!

I will admit, I considered slipping Grace and Cole’s wedding into one of the chapters and calling it a day. That is, until a friend of mine demanded a proper wedding with full attention in its own book! So Grace and Cole’s wedding is postponed again, but they will get their happily-ever-after, I promise!

I love Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, so I thought—why not give Grace her own Scrooge to contend with? There’s also a new set of guests, new characters, and one playful kitten who just won’t stay out of the Christmas tree!

So grab a sugar cookie, a warm blanket, and a mug of hot cocoa, and come join me in Countdown to Christmas Eve! Your found family awaits (and you just know they brought all the good gossip!).

Happy Reading!
Dianna Houx
