Jenny's Star — Patricia Werner

SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL SCROOGE...
As the devoted director of the Cherry Valley Retirement Home, Jenny Knight will do anything to make her elderly residents happy. But pretending to be joyful this Christmas season is turning out to be more difficult than she ever dreamed. Still smarting over a failed romance and anticipating a lonely holiday far from her family, Jenny can't help wishing Christmas was over. And it doesn't get any easier when sexy, green-eyed Parker McAllister--the ruggedly handsome son of one of her residents--turns up, sporting a wicked grin, toting an enormous tree, and willfully intent on spreading good cheer.

...UNTIL HE SHOWED HER HOW MAGICAL LOVE COULD BE
Never has Parker McAllister met such a ravishing yet maddening woman. But Parker isn't one to shy away from a challenge. And when this frosty red-head persists in trying to give Christmas the cold shoulder, he sets out to show her just how special the season can be. Slowly, in the face of Parker's irresistible warmth and his infectious humor, Jenny finds her icy defenses melting away. But it isn't until the smoldering attraction between them catches fire that Jenny discovers what she really wants for Christmas--a chance to win this wonderful man's heart!
