Overview

A romantic comedy with pets and an orphan!

For holiday cheer, nothing beats a classic romantic comedy by Jacqueline Diamond, complete with an orphan, cute animals, a very hunky Santa Claus, and a heroine named Merrie who’ll steal your heart.

When wealthy executive Dave Anders goes to the vet to pick up his dog, he ends up chasing a monkey and kissing the vet herself. Dr. Merrie McGregor’s dazzled by Dave’s powerful sensuality but never expects to see him again—until he shows up as Santa Claus on her doorstep on Christmas Eve with gifts for Merrie’s niece Steffie…and a burning passion for Merrie.

Then her snobbish sister plans to stick her adopted daughter in boarding school. Merrie will go to any lengths to get Steffie entrusted to her, even claiming an engagement with Dave. The problem is that Dave seems to be taking the whole engagement business a little too seriously, while Merrie’s afraid their values are worlds apart. Can a warm December really last the whole year round? Three people’s happiness hangs in the balance.

Originally written under the pseudonym Jacqueline Topaz, A Warm December has been lightly updated by the author to maintain its original freshness and humor.

Editorials

Helen Slifer

I'm a sucker for Jacqueline Diamond's romances. They always contain strong families and the complication of having an innocent child in the mix. Because they're shorter in length, it's easy to read them in one sitting and you always get emotionally wrapped up in the characters' lives.

Michele Schram

Jacqueline Diamond's romances contain families, not just the couples but the whole family falling in love. That's because her books are home and community with a "you'll meet no strangers here" attitude.
