Gabriella Rumsey’s life is turned upside down when a car crash claims the lives of her sister and brother-in-law, and she becomes an instant mother to their three-month-old daughter. With family gone, limited finances, and her degree and career path on hold, how can she ever manage motherhood? Chad Hempstead, an author of action-packed crime novels, is jaded by love. Past experience has taught him to never let a female take advantage of his fame and fortune again. But when he walks into his parents’ home and finds sexy Gabriella Rumsey, whose car he rear-ended two days earlier, ensconced in a Norman Rockwell Christmas scene, his heart has a hard time listening to his head. It will take a holiday miracle for them to live under the same roof and keep their hands off each other long enough to recognize the bonds that could bring them together.
Here is what readers have to say about Nothing Short of a Miracle:
Collab. 2.0: “When it comes to delivering on Christmas settings and seasonal cheer, this is one of the most fulfilling novels I’ve ever read. Carol Henry is a gifted writer who paints a picture of all the fine details of the season. She is also a master at pacing. The ins and outs of the developing romance are a delight to read. Themes of self-sacrifice and second chances run heavily through these pages. There are real challenges of loss and mistrust to be overcome in this story. The author’s handling of the protagonists’ intense relationship is masterful. This story is a fine reminder that we all look at life through a filter based on our own experiences. Sometimes we need to be patient and get to know someone so they feel safe enough to drop their filter. Then they can see us as we are instead of how they assume we will be. The reader is enveloped in the rich and rewarding theme of enduring generations. This story is like a warm hug.”
N. G. K. Austin: “This book had it all: family, pushing/pulling, mystery, romance, and love. I didn’t want this story to end. Misunderstanding, after misunderstanding, but real love always gets it right. The loss of family always hurts, but good friends can help you too. Just remember the good and move on. I really appreciated the young girl’s love for her sister’s baby daughter. Real love”
Jill S.: “I have enjoyed all of Carol Henry’s books so far and couldn’t wait until the holidays to read ‘Nothing Short of a Miracle’, so I read it in the middle of summer! The story keeps your interest and has a surprise I wasn’t expecting. It is easy to identify with the characters in the story. This story isn’t sappy but has just the right amount of romance.”
