Angel's View Ranch has always been special to Annelise McCade. Once upon a time, it was her family's land, until her grandfather sold it to billionaire Wallace Sheridan. Now employed as the live-in caretaker, Annie is just trying to make it through the holidays with both her sanity and her niece's and nephew's faith in the magic of Christmas intact. The six-year-old twins recently lost their mother, so Annie tells herself it wouldn't be a problem to bring them to Angel's View. Why should it be? The Sheridans haven't visited in years, not since Wallace died. They would never know the twins were there...until Tate Sheridan shows up out of the blue two weeks before Christmas. Crushed to learn that Tate is there to sell his grandfather's property--and mortified that her secret guests have been discovered--Annie offers her resignation. But Tate asks them to stay and help him get the house ready for one last family Christmas before it's put on the market.
