Book excerpt: This snowy Christmas, there’s a new matchmaker on Bluestar Island, and she’s working on Project: Mistletoe… Carol Carmichael operates the refresh décor service at Turner Home Furnishings, but business has recently dropped off, putting her job in jeopardy. Misfortune strikes the island, and Bluestar’s annual ten-day Christmas celebration is moved to the new ballroom at the Brass Anchor Inn. Carol is asked to decorate the ballroom for the festivities. Could the high visibility of this project be exactly what she needs to keep her job? There's just one catch…working at the inn will put her in direct contact with the man who broke her heart. Hotel manager Harvey Coleman is not feeling the holiday spirit. A health scare has him pulling back from life and those who care about him. But when Carol arrives at the inn, she turns his frown upside down with her sunny smiles. There’s no way she’ll give him a second chance…even if he wants one. As Christmas approaches, a bit of matchmaking keeps their lives intertwined. Will the spirit of the season heal their hearts and a sprig of mistletoe give their love a second chance? Includes a recipe for Carol’s Chai Spice Cookies!
