Store Hours — Rusty Fischer

The last thing Lea Sommers expects on Christmas Eve is to run into Gil Cramer, the "one who got away." But that's exactly what happens when she finds that Gil has come back to Noel, North Carolina, to work at the local Books 'n' Beans Caf?.Lea's stuck in her own store, the Art Mart, until midnight on Christmas Eve, as part of the Galleria's "Shop 'Til You Drop" promotion to help boost sales after a lackluster holiday shopping season. She hasn't been looking forward to the long, endless shift, but as the shoppers drift away and she reconnects with Gil, Lea rediscovers what the Magic of Christmas really means. And when Gil bribes the security guard to let Lea and him wander around the mall after the shoppers-and shopkeepers-go home for the night, she'll learn that she's never too old to believe in Christmas-or a second chance at love.
