From the back cover:

JONI'S MAGIC by Mary Lynn Baxter
A man and his dog--that was the sum of Boothe Larson's self-imposed exile deep in the Arkansas woods. All visitors were turned away from the lonely cabin. But then a little girl worked magic on him, and so did her mother, Lacy Madison. It was Christmas magic--and it was called true love...

HEARTS OF HOPE by Sondra Stanford
Rob Green couldn't help laughing as he dropped off the enormous Christmas tree at Mary Shelton's home. How could the tiniest apartment in town ever contain such a huge tree? The woman was expecting a miracle. But one look at Mary got Rob thinking...of trees and mistletoe and the miracle of Christmas.

THE NIGHT SANTA CLAUS RETURNED by Marie Ferrarella
Laura Lekawski didn't believe in Santa Claus and neither did her son, Robbie...until they met him--or at least the Santa in Mattingly's Department Store. Here was the kind of Santa who could make Christmas wishes come true for a sad little boy. And make his lonely mother's dreams come true.

BASKET OF LOVE by Jeanne Stephens
"Merry Christmas" was definitely a contradiction in terms--at least as far as Nina Duncan was concerned. For Jeff Eberhart, that tough-cookie attitude become a challenge. It was past time for lovely Nina to open herself up to the spirit of holiday happiness--and the gift of love.
